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, by the State of Oregon on behalf of
works and former workers of U.S. Bank National Association,
Collections & Recovery and Consumer Advocacy Division,
Consumer & Business Banking Operations Unit, a wholly owned
subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, Portland, Oregon (U.S. Bank,
CRCA/CBBO, Portland). U.S. Bank National Association is
engaged in activities related to the supply of banking and
financial services. Workers of U.S. Bank, CRCA/CBBO,
Portland are engaged in activities related to the supply of
customer account services. The subject worker group does not
include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, and other
sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in U.S. Bank, CRCA/CBBO,
Portland 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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the customer account services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at U.S. Bank, CRCA/CBBO, Portland.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of U.S. Bank, CRCA/CBBO,
Portland, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
customer account 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 U.S. Bank National Association,
Collections & Recovery and Consumer Advocacy Division,
Consumer & Business Banking Operations Unit, a wholly
owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, Portland, Oregon, 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 2nd day of March 2020.
