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 November 12, 2015 on behalf of workers of Verizon
Corporate Resources Group, LLC, Order Management, San Antonio,
Texas (herein referred to as "Verizon, Order Management").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of telecommunications and data services. Specifically, the
workers are engaged in order management activities in support of
firm's supply of telecommunications and data services.
A subset of the worker group (Verizon Business Networks
Services, Inc., Senior Analyst-Order Management, Voice Over
Internet Protocol, Small and Medium Business, San Antonio,
Texas - TA-W-91,133A) was certified eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-W-82,189A
which expired on January 18, 2015.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Verizon, Order Management.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Verizon Corporate
Resources Group, LLC, Order Management, San Antonio, Texas,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
telecommunications and data services, specifically order
management, 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 Corporate Resources Group, LLC,
Order Management, excluding Verizon Business Networks
Services, Inc., Senior Analyst-Order Management, Voice
Over Internet Protocol, Small and Medium Business, San
Antonio, Texas (TA-W-91,133), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November
11, 2014 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;
AND,
All workers of Verizon Business Networks Services, Inc.,
Senior Analyst-Order Management, Voice Over Internet
Protocol, Small and Medium Business, San Antonio, Texas
(TA-W-91,133A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 19, 2015 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 15th day of May 2016.
