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 July 2, 2020 on behalf of workers and former workers of
Treasury Wine Estates, Americas Company, Support Services, Napa,
California (Treasury Wine Estates/Support Services-Napa). Workers
of Treasury Wine Estates/Support Services-Napa are engaged in
activities related to the supply of support services (such as
finance, information technology, supply logistics, human
resources, operations, marketing, sales, global business
services, administration, and legal) for wineries.
The subject worker group (Treasury Wine Estates/Support
Services-Napa) includes on-site leased workers from Bolt, Zorang,
Robert Half, Nelson, Eurest Services, ProTech Solutions,
HaloSentient, Inc., AT&T, Accenture, and Biagi Bros.
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 Treasury Wine Estates/Support
Services-Napa 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 Treasury Wine Estates/Support Services-Napa.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Treasury Wine
Estates/Support Services-Napa 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 Treasury Wine Estates, Americas Company,
Support Services, including on-site leased workers from
Bolt, Zorang, Robert Half, Nelson, Eurest Services,
ProTech Solutions, HaloSentient, Inc., AT&T, Accenture,
and Biagi Bros., Napa, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 1,
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 September 2020.
