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 November 19, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Northern Trust Corporation,
Technology Department, Technology Finance Group, Chicago,
Illinois (Northern Trust/Technology Finance Group-Chicago).
Workers of Northern Trust/Technology Finance Group-Chicago are
engaged in activities related to the supply of internal
financial and accounting support services and expense management
services. The worker group does not include on-site leased
workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Northern Trust/Technology
Finance Group-Chicago 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 a portion of the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the services supplied
by the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Northern Trust/Technology Finance Group-
Chicago.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Northern
Trust/Technology Finance Group-Chicago, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of financial and accounting
support services and expense management services, 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 Northern Trust Corporation, Technology
Department, Technology Finance Group, Chicago, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 18, 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 14th day of April 2020.
