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 December 7, 2012, applicable to workers
of Verizon Business Networks Services, Inc., Senior Analysts-
Sales Implementation (SA-SI), Birmingham Alabama (TA-W-81,968)
and Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., Senior Analyst-
Sales Implementation (SA-SI), and Service Program Delivery
Division, San Francisco, California (TA-W-81,968A). The worker
group supplies senior analyst-sales implementation and service
program delivery services. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on January 4, 2013 (78 FR 767).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
Information shows that worker separations occurred during the
relevant time period at the Senior Analyst-Sales Implementation
(SA-SI), Alpharetta, Georgia location of Verizon Business
Network Services, Inc. due to a shift in services to a foreign
country.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of the Senior Analyst-Sales Implementation
(SA-SI), Alpharetta, Georgia location of Verizon Business
Network Services, Inc.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift of senior analyst-sales implementation and service program
delivery services to a foreign country.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,968, TA-W-81,968A,
and TA-W-81,968B is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers from Verizon Business Network Services,
Inc., Senior Analyst-Sales Implementation (SA-SI),
Birmingham, Alabama (TA-W-81,968), Verizon Business
Network Services, Inc., Senior Analyst-Sales
Implementation (SA-SI), and Service Program Delivery
Division, San Francisco, California (TA-W-81,968A) and
Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., Senior
Analyst-Sales Implementation (SA-SI), Alpharetta,
Georgia (TA-W-81,968B), who became totally or

separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of

assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade
Act of 1974, as 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 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 September 14, 2012, on behalf
of workers of Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., Senior
Analyst-Sales Implementation (SA-SI), Birmingham, Alabama and
Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., Senior Analyst-Sales
Implementation (SA-SI), and Service Program Delivery Division, San
Francisco, California. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities
related to telecommunications services. The worker group supplies
senior analyst-sales implementation and service program delivery
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 senior analyst-sales implementation and
service program delivery 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., Senior Analyst-Sales Implementation (SA-SI),
Birmingham, Alabama and Verizon Business Network Services, Inc.,
Senior Analyst-Sales Implementation (SA-SI), and Service Program
Delivery Division, San Francisco, California who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of senior analyst-sales
implementation and service program delivery 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.,
Senior Analyst-Sales Implementation (SA-SI), Birmingham,
Alabama (TA-W-81,968) and Verizon Business Network Services,
Inc., Senior Analyst-Sales Implementation (SA-SI), and Service
Program Delivery Division, San Francisco, California (TA-W-
81,968A) who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 13, 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.”
