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 30, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Refinitiv US LLC, a subsidiary of Refinitiv Holdings
Limited, Eagan, Minnesota. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of data, information, news, and
insights to meet customer needs across investing, trading, wealth
advisory, and risk management operations for global financial
markets. The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Randstad Professionals US, LLC.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service like or
directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Refinitiv US LLC, a subsidiary of Refinitiv Holdings Limited,
Eagan, Minnesota.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Refinitiv US LLC, a
subsidiary of Refinitiv Holdings Limited, including on-site
leased workers from Randstad Professionals US, LLC, Eagan,
Minnesota, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
data, information, news, and insights to meet customer needs
across investing, trading, wealth advisory, and risk management
operations for global financial markets 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 Refinitiv US LLC, a subsidiary of Refinitiv
Holdings Limited, including on-site leased workers from
Randstad Professionals US, LLC, Eagan, Minnesota, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 29, 2018 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 6th day of December 2019.
