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 June 16, 2020 on behalf of former and current workers of
Capgemini America, Inc., a subsidiary of Capgemini North
America, Inc., Cloud Infrastructure Services Division (INFRA),
Burbank, California (Capgemini/INFRA-Burbank). Workers of
Capgemini/INFRA-Burbank are engaged in activities related to the
supply of information technology (IT) services.
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 Capgemini/INFRA-Burbank 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 IT service supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Capgemini/INFRA-Burbank.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Capgemini/INFRA-
Burbank, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of IT
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 Capgemini America, Inc., a subsidiary of
Capgemini North America, Inc., Cloud Infrastructure
Services Division (INFRA), Burbank, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 15, 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 5th day of August 2020.
