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 19, 2019 by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Dentsply Sirona, Inc., Corporate
Division, Financial Services Group, including on-site leased
workers from JFC Global, Robert Half/Accountemps, and Adecco,
York, Pennsylvania (Dentsply-Financial Services). The subject
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
internal financial services.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Dentsply-Financial Services 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(n) service like
or directly competitive with the financial services supplied by
the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Dentsply-Financial Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dentsply-Financial
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 Dentsply Sirona, Inc., Corporate Division,
Financial Services Group, including on-site leased workers
from JFC Global, Robert Half/Accountemps, and Adecco, York,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 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 5th day of October 2020.
