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 January 7, 2020 on behalf of workers and former workers
of Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc., Finance-Accounting
Services Division, Client Accounting Services Group, including
on-site leased workers from Aston Carter and Lasalle Network,
Westmont, Illinois (JLL/Finance/Client Accounting-Westmont).
Workers of JLL/Finance/Client Accounting-Westmont are engaged in
activities related to the supply of client accounting services
and related administrative and clerical services. The petition
states that worker separations are due to a shift in the supply
of financial services to a foreign country.
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 JLL/Finance/Client
Accounting-Westmont 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 services
like or directly competitive with those supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at JLL/Finance/Client Accounting-Westmont.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of JLL/Finance/Client
Accounting-Westmont 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 Jones Lang Lasalle Americas, Inc., Finance-
Accounting Services Division, Client Accounting Services
Group, including on-site leased workers from Aston Carter
and Lasalle Network, Westmont, Illinois, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January
6, 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 6th day of October 2020.
