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 December 30, 2010, by a State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Ericsson Services, Inc., currently known
as Ericsson, Inc., Service Assurance, Deployment and
Integration, and Engineering and IS/IT Divisions, Overland
Park, Kansas. The workers provide telecommunications services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Brook
Consultants Inc., Cortech LLC, Adex Corporation, American
Cybersystems Inc., Apeiron Inc., Apex Systems Inc., ARC
Partners Inc., Avion Systems Inc., BCI Communications Inc.,
Brosna Communications, Collaborative LLC, Covergenz LLC,
Corestaff Services LP, FMHC Corporation, Fusion Solutions
Inc., GCB Services LLC, Global Technology Associates, HCONN
Inc., J.M. Neil and Associates Inc., JMA Chartered, Makro
Technologies Inc., Multi Services Inc., Multipoint
International, Nexius Inc., Technisource Inc., Teksystems
Inc., T-Force Inc., Thinktel Inc., United Information
Technlogies, and Wireless Facilities, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ericsson
Services, Inc., who are engaged in employment related to
telecommunication services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service like
or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to a foreign country by Ericsson Services, Inc. contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the Overland Park,
Kansas facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ericsson Services,
Inc., Service Assurance, Deployment and Integration, and
Engineering and IS/IT Divisions, Overland Park, Kansas, who are
engaged in employment related to telecommunication 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 Ericsson Services, Inc., currently known
as Ericsson, Inc., Service Assurance, Deployment and
Integration, and Engineering and IS/IT Divisions,
including on-site leased workers from Brook Consultants
Inc., Cortech LLC, Adex Corporation, American
Cybersystems Inc., Apeiron Inc., Apex Systems Inc., ARC

became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 29, 2009, 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.”
