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 February 5, 2020, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of
Washington, IT Compute Services & End User Services, a
subsidiary of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Rose International, Mobile Integration
Workgroup, Insight Global, and PACE Staffing Network, Renton,
Washington. The workers' firm, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan,
Inc., is an insurance and healthcare provider. The worker group
is engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and workers' firm.
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 the worker group
separations at Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Kaiser Foundation
Health Plan of Washington, IT Compute Services & End User
Services, a subsidiary of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Rose International, Mobile
Integration Workgroup, Insight Global, and PACE Staffing
Network, Renton, Washington, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of information technology 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 Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of
Washington, IT Compute Services & End User Services, a
subsidiary of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Rose International,
Mobile Integration Workgroup, Insight Global, and PACE
Staffing Network, Renton, Washington, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 4,
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 30th day of March 2020.
