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 15, 2020 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers and former workers of Hologic, Inc.,
Accounting and Financial Division, including on-site leased
workers from Randstad, Marlborough, Massachusetts (Hologic-
Accounting and Financial, Marlborough). Workers of Hologic-
Accounting and Financial, Marlborough are engaged in activities
related to the supply of accounting and financial services.
The petition alleges that worker separations at the
Marlborough, Massachusetts facility are due to a shift in the
supply of 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 Hologic-Accounting and
Financial, Marlborough 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 the services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Hologic-Accounting and Financial, Marlborough.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hologic-Accounting
and Financial, Marlborough 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 Hologic, Inc., Accounting and Financial
Division, including on-site leased workers from Randstad,
Marlborough, Massachusetts, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 13, 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.
