2010-5312. Citizens Bank, N.A., et al.: Business Services, Including On-Site Leased Workers of Manpower and Randstad; Amended 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 issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on January 21, 2010, applicable to the workers of RBS Citizens, N.A., Business Services Division, at multiple locations across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The notice will be published in the Federal Register soon.

At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of internal administrative services.

New findings show that worker separations occurred at the above listed locations of the subject firm during the relevant time period.

Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to include workers of the RBS Citizens, N.A. located in Bridgeport, Connecticut; Warwick, Rhode Island; and Glen Allen, Pennsylvania and the Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania (locations in Pennsylvania are part of Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania) located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by the shift in services.
