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 18, 2013, applicable to workers
of Verizon Business Networks Services, Inc., Senior Analysts-
Order Management, Voice Over Internet Protocol, Small and Medium
Business, Tampa, Florida. The workers supplied order management
services to small and medium business customers relating to the
firm’s Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VOIP”) products. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on February 6, 2013
(78 FR 8592).
In response to new information received during the
investigation of petition number TA-W-82,256, the Department
reviewed this certification for workers of the subject firm.
Information shows that the Senior Coordinator-Order Management,
Voice Over Internet Protocol, Small and Medium Business of
Verizon Business Networks Services, Inc., San Antonio, Texas
operates the same as and in conjunction with Senior Analysts-
Order Management, Voice Over Internet Protocol, Small and Medium
Business Tampa, Florida, and both experienced worker separations
during the relevant time period.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers of the Senior Coordinator-Order
Management, Voice Over Internet Protocol, Small and Medium
Business of Verizon Business Networks Services, Inc., San
Antonio, Texas.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
the shift in order management services to a foreign country.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,189 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers from Verizon Business Network Services,
Inc., Senior Analysts-Order Management, Voice Over
Internet Protocol, Small and Medium Business, Tampa,
Florida (TA-W-82,189) and Verizon Business Network
Services, Inc., Senior Coordinator-Order Management,
Voice Over Internet Protocol, Small and Medium
Business, San Antonio, Texas (TA-W-82,189A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 28, 2011 through January 18, 2015, 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.”

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 workers on November 29, 2012, on behalf of workers of
Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., Senior Analysts-Order
Management, Voice Over Internet Protocol, Small and Medium
Business, Tampa, Florida. The workers’ firm is engaged in
activities related to telecommunications services. The worker
group supplied order management services to small and medium
business customers relating to the firm’s Voice Over Internet
Protocol (“VOIP”) products.
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 the order management services supplied by
the workers, 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 Analysts-Order Management, Voice Over
Internet Protocol, Small and Medium Business, Tampa, Florida, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of order management
services to small and medium business customers relating to the
firm’s Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VOIP”) products, 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 Analysts-Order Management, Voice Over Internet
Protocol, Small and Medium Business, Tampa, Florida, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 28, 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.”
