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 August 5, 2020, by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, AZURE Stack Engineering
Team, Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-96,121) and Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, AZURE Stack Engineering Team, Redmond, Washington (TA-
W-96,121A) (herein referred to as "Hewlett Packard Enterprise").
Though worker group may have consisted of remote workers, it was
confirm that AZURE workers did not operate out of the Westborough,
Massachusetts Hewlett Packard location.

The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of software, servers, switches, storage arrays, network
interface cards.

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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 acquired from a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, AZURE Stack Engineering Team, Fort Collins, Colorado
(TA-W-96,121) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, AZURE Stack
Engineering Team, Redmond, Washington (TA-W-96,121A), who are
engaged in activities related to the production of software,
servers, switches, storage arrays, network interface cards, 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise, AZURE Stack
Engineering Team, Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W-96,121) and
Hewlett Packard Enterprise, AZURE Stack Engineering Team,
Redmond, Washington (TA-W-96,121A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 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 9th day of February, 2021
