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 17, 2020 by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Technicolor Home Entertainment
Services Southeast, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
Afeea Staffing, Alliance HR, Automation Personnel Services,
Epsco, Inc., Surge Staffing, Arrow Workforce Solutions, and
Express Employment Professionals, Huntsville, Alabama
(Technicolor-Huntsville). Workers of Technicolor-Huntsville are
engaged in activities related to the production of pre-recorded
optical discs.
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 Technicolor-Huntsville
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 production of pre-
recorded optical discs, or like or directly competitive
articles, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Technicolor-Huntsville.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Technicolor-
Huntsville 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 Technicolor Home Entertainment Services
Southeast, LLC, including on-site leased workers from Afeea
Staffing, Alliance HR, Automation Personnel Services,
Epsco, Inc., Surge Staffing, Arrow Workforce Solutions, and
Express Employment Professionals, Huntsville, Alabama, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 16, 2019through 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 15th day of October 2020.
