of Determination was published in the Federal Register on

state workforce office, the Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. Workers of Ericsson Inc.,
Wireline Network Ops Building Maintenance and Engineering Group
(BME), including on-site leased workers from J.M. Neil & Associates,
Inc., Overland Park, Kansas (TA-W-82,557) are engaged in activities

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 on March 14, 2013 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Ericsson Inc., Wireline Network Ops Building
Maintenance and Engineering Group (BME), including on-site
leased workers from J.M. Neil & Associates, Inc., Overland
Park, Kansas (TA-W-82,557) and Ericsson Inc., Network
Platforms Group, Overland Park, Kansas (TA-W-82,557A)
(Ericsson). The worker group, Ericsson Inc., Wireline Network
Ops Building Maintenance and Engineering Group (BME),
including on-site leased workers from J.M. Neil & Associates,
Inc., Overland Park, Kansas (TA-W-82,557) is engaged in
activities related to the supply of managed services for the
management of network operations and related
telecommunications operators in the U.S. including proactive
alarm monitoring of HVAC, power, building door, halon, and
fire detection alarms. The worker group, Ericsson Inc., Network
Platforms Group, Overland Park, Kansas (TA-W-82,557A) is
engaged in activities related to the supply of managed
services for the management of network operations and related
telecommunications operators in the U.S. including wireless
and wireline network services such as ticket triage, testing,
alarm response, monitoring, verification, and referral to
local exchange carriers for routing trouble failures.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
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 services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Ericsson.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ericsson Inc.,
Wireline Network Ops Building Maintenance and Engineering
Group (BME), including on-site leased workers from J.M. Neil &
Associates, Inc., Overland Park, Kansas (TA-W-82,557) and
Ericsson Inc., Network Platforms Group, Overland Park, Kansas
(TA-W-82,557A), who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of managed services for the management of network
operations and related telecommunications operators in the
U.S. 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 Inc., Wireline Network Ops
Building Maintenance and Engineering Group (BME),
including on-site leased workers from J.M. Neil &
Associates, Inc., Overland Park, Kansas (TA-W-82,557) and
Ericsson Inc., Network Platforms Group, Overland Park,
Kansas (TA-W-82,557A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 12, 2012
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."
