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 April 10, 2018 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Ericsson, Inc., Networks Engineering Services
Network Configuration Operations (MANA NTW Eng Svcs Ntw
Configuration Ops) Group, Overland Park, Kansas (subject worker
group). The subject worker group is engaged in activities
related to the supply of managed services and management of
network operations and related functions, fulfillment,
configuration, provisioning, and migration network services. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from Yoh
Services LLC, Brook Consultants, Inc., Insight Global, and 4G
Project People.
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 the subject worker group
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 a portion of the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the services supplied
by the subject worker group which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Ericsson, Inc., Networks
Engineering Services Network Configuration Operations Group,
Overland Park, Kansas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ericsson, Inc.,
Networks Engineering Services Network Configuration Operations
Group, Overland Park, Kansas, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of managed services and management of
network operations and related functions, fulfillment,
configuration, provisioning, and migration network 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 Ericsson, Inc., Networks Engineering
Services Network Configuration Operations (MANA NTW Eng
Svcs Ntw Configuration Ops) Group, including on-site leased
workers from Yoh Services LLC, Brook Consultants, Inc.,
Insight Global, and 4G Project People, Overland Park,
Kansas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 10, 2017 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 28th day of September 2018.
