Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 4, 2019 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of USF Reddaway Inc., Corporate Division, a wholly
owned subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc., Tualatin, Oregon (USF
Reddaway-Corporate Division). The subject workers are engaged in
activities related to the supply of customer service (support
functions). The subject worker group also includes on-site lease
workers from Integrity Staffing Solutions, Vanderhouwen, Express
Employment Professionals, Resource Staffing, Ajilon, and
Accountemps (A Robert Half Company).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition/workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in USF Reddaway-Corporate
Division have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at USF Reddaway-Corporate Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of USF Reddaway-
Corporate Division meet the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of USF Reddaway Inc., Corporate Division, a
wholly owned subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Integrity Staffing Solutions,
Vanderhouwen, Express Employment Professionals, Resource
Staffing, Ajilon, and Accountemps (A Robert Half Company),
Tualatin, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 23, 2019, through two
years from the date of certification, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 29th day of October 2019.
