THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON
GLOBAL CUSTODY & CASH SERVICES DIVISION

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
WIPRO LIMITED, COGNIZANT WORLDWIDE LIMITED, SEVEN SEVEN,
AND CPT GLOBAL INC.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
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 28, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of The Bank of New York Mellon, Global Custody &
Cash Services Division, a subsidiary of The Bank of New York
Mellon Corporation, New York, New York ("The Bank of New York
Mellon"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the supply of technical support services for systems
applications. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from WIPRO Limited, Cognizant Worldwide Limited, Seven
Seven, and CPT Global Inc.
The petition was initially filed on behalf of workers
located at 525 William Penn Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Further investigation revealed that this location did not
encompass workers during the period relevant to the
investigation. Additionally, the workers' firm 500 Grant
Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania location has a worker group
covered under petition number TA-W-94,951A which expires on
September 18, 2021.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at The Bank of New York Mellon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Bank of New York
Mellon, Global Custody & Cash Services Division, a subsidiary
of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from WIPRO Limited, Cognizant Worldwide
Limited, Seven Seven, and CPT Global Inc., New York, New York
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of technical
support services for systems applications 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 The Bank of New York Mellon, Global
Custody & Cash Services Division, a subsidiary of The
Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from WIPRO Limited, Cognizant Worldwide
Limited, Seven Seven, and CPT Global Inc., New York, New
York who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 27, 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 18th day of March 2020.
