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 24, 2020 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on behalf
of workers and former workers of IQVIA Inc., a subsidiary of
IQVIA Holdings Inc., Chief Information Office, End User
Digital Experience Unit, Overland Park, Kansas (IQVIA/EUDEU-
Overland Park). The subject firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of a range of human data science
services for various applications. Workers of IQVIA/EUDEU-
Overland Park are engaged in activities related to the supply
of a variety of biopharmaceutical development and commercial
outsourcing services.
The subject worker group (IQVIA/EUDEU-Overland Park) does
not include on-site leased workers.
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 IQVIA/EUDEU-Overland Park
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 have acquired from a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the biopharmaceutical
development and commercial outsourcing services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at IQVIA/EUDEU-Overland Park.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of IQVIA/EUDEU-Overland
Park, who are engaged in the supply of biopharmaceutical
development and commercial outsourcing 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 IQVIA Inc., a subsidiary of IQVIA Holdings
Inc., Chief Information Office, End User Digital
Experience Unit, Overland Park, Kansas, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after July 22,
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 6th day of November 2020.
