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 December 16, 2019 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers and former workers of Wells Fargo Bank N.A., a
subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company, Enterprise Deposits,
Payment, Virtual Solutions and Innovation (PVSI) Division,
Exceptions & Returns (EDER) Team, Glen Allen, Virginia (Wells
Fargo, PVSI Division/EDER Team-Glen Allen). Workers of Wells
Fargo, PVSI Division/EDER Team-Glen Allen are engaged in
activities related to the supply of virtual processing, data
entry, and transaction balancing services. Workers are not
separately identifiable by service supplied. 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 Wells Fargo, PVSI
Division/EDER Team-Glen Allen 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 virtual
processing, data entry, and transaction balancing services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Wells Fargo, PVSI Division/EDER
Team-Glen Allen.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Wells Fargo, PVSI
Division/EDER Team-Glen Allen 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 Wells Fargo Bank N.A., a subsidiary of
Wells Fargo & Company, Enterprise Deposits, Payment,
Virtual Solutions and Innovation (PVSI) Division,
Exceptions & Returns (EDER) Team, Glen Allen, Virginia,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after December 13, 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 16th day of March 2020.
