issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on September 6, 2012, applicable to workers

At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New

Company information shows that the Specialist-Tech Customer
Service is the intended worker group to be covered by this
investigation. Therefore, as stated in the original

Accordingly, the Department is amended this certification to
correct the name of the appropriate subdivision to read Verizon
Business Networks Services, Inc., Specialist-Tech Customer
Service, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Verizon Business Networks

The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all

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 by a state workforce office on June 11, 2012, on behalf of
workers of Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., Order
Management Division, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Verizon
Business Network Services, Inc., Order Management Division, Tampa,
Florida. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to
telecommunications services. The worker group supplies order
management services.
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 services like or
directly competitive with order management services, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Verizon
Business Network Services, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Verizon Business Network
Services, Inc., Order Management Division, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, and Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., Order
Management Division, Tampa, Florida, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of order management 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 Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., Order
Management Division, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Verizon
Business Network Services, Inc., Order Management Division,
Tampa, Florida, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 8, 2011 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.”
