4 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: I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant number or proportion of the workers in the workers firm must have become totally or partially separated or be threatened with total or partial separation. II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either: (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 (i)(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. III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must have contributed importantly to the workers separation or threat of separation. See Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii). The investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed on June 17, 2010 by a company official on behalf of Hewlett Packard, Finance Division, Palo Alto, California (TA-W- 74,257), including teleworkers across California and workers

5 on-site in Cupertino, Fremont, Palo Alto, Roseville, San Diego, and San Francisco, California (TA-W-74,257A); workers on-site in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, Colorado (TA-W- 74,257B); teleworkers across Connecticut (TA-W-74,257C); teleworkers across Florida and workers on-site in Miami, Florida (TA-W-74,257D); teleworkers across Georgia and workers on-site in Alpharetta, Georgia (TA-W-74,257E); teleworkers across Idaho and workers on-site in Boise, Idaho (TA-W- 74,257F); teleworkers across Massachusetts and workers on-site in Andover and Marlborough, Massachusetts (TA-W-74,257G); workers on-site in Bethesda, Maryland (TA-W-74,257H); workers on-site in Minnetonka, Minnesota (TA-W-74,257I); workers onsite in Omaha, Nebraska (TA-W-74,257J); teleworkers across New Hampshire (TA-W-74,257K); workers on-site in New Providence, New Jersey (TA-W-74,257L); workers on-site in Charlotte, North Carolina and teleworkers across North Carolina (TA-W-74,257M); workers on-site in Corvallis, Oregon (TA-W-74,257N); teleworkers across Pennsylvania (TA-W-74,257O); teleworkers across Texas and workers on-site in Austin, Houston, and Plano, Texas(TA-W-74,257P); workers on-site in Herndon, Virginia (TA-W-74,257Q); and workers on-site in Vancouver, Washington (TA-W-74,257R). Leased workers from Artech Information Systems LLC, ATP Personnel, Collabera (aka Global Consultants Inc.), Manpower, Netsource Inc., Northwest Software Inc., Pinnacle Technical

6 Resources, Spherion, Staff Management, Synova Inc., and Trinite Inc. are employed at several of the locations involved in this petition, and are included in the worker group. The workers provide financial consulting services to Hewlett Packard s businesses, which includes meeting financial close, reporting corporate results, and providing financial data to financial markets. The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett Packard, Finance Division, who are engaged in employment related to financial consulting services to Hewlett Packard s businesses, meet the criteria for certification. Criterion I has been met because a significant number of workers have been separated over the relevant period, and additional separations are anticipated. Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers firm has shifted to a foreign country a portion of the supply of services like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers at the cited locations. Criterion III has been met because the shift of financial consulting services to India and Mexico by Hewlett Packard contributed importantly to worker group separations at Hewlett Packard s Finance Division. Conclusion After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard,

7 Finance Division, at the locations cited above and including leased workers from Artech Information Systems LLC, ATP Personnel, Collabera (aka Global Consultants Inc.), Manpower, Netsource Inc., Northwest Software Inc., Pinnacle Technical Resources, Spherion, Staff Management, Synova Inc., and Trinite Inc. who are employed at several of the locations involved in this petition, who are engaged in employment related to financial consulting services for Hewlett Packard, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a).
