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 September 14, 2020 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers and former workers of Korn Ferry (US),
Chicago, Illinois (Korn Ferry-Chicago). Workers of Korn Ferry-
Chicago are engaged in activities related to the supply of
organizational consulting services. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Logicalis and Larko Group.
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 Korn Ferry-Chicago 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 a portion of the supply of
a service like or directly competitive with those services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Korn Ferry-Chicago.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Korn Ferry-Chicago,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
organizational consulting servcies, 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 Korn Ferry (US), including on-site leased
workers from Logicalis and Larko Group, Chicago, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 10, 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 27th day of November 2020.
