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 7, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Levi Strauss & Co., Financial Shared Services
Center, Eugene, Oregon. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of general accounting and
finance services, payroll, accounts payable, accounts
receivable, and credit services. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Randstadt Sourceright,
Rose International Inc., Industrial Staffing Services, Swoon
Staffing, Vanderhouwen, and Staffmark.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.

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 service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Levi Strauss & Co., Financial Shared Services
Center, Eugene, Oregon.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Levi Strauss & Co.,
Financial Shared Services Center, including on-site leased
workers from Randstadt Sourceright, Rose International Inc.,
Industrial Staffing Services, Swoon Staffing, Vanderhouwen,
and Staffmark, Eugene, Oregon, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of general accounting and finance
services, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and
credit 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 Levi Strauss & Co., Financial Shared
Services Center, including on-site leased workers from
Randstadt Sourceright, Rose International Inc.,
Industrial Staffing Services, Swoon Staffing,
Vanderhouwen, and Staffmark, Eugene, Oregon, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 6, 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 11th day of February, 2021
