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 August 31, 2018 by state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Nokia of America Corporation, a subsidiary of Nokia,
including workers whose wages were reported through Nokia
Solutions & Networks LLC and Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., Dublin,
Ohio (herein referred to as "Nokia"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of
telecommunications services. Workers are not separately
identifiable by service.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 a(n) service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Nokia.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nokia of America
Corporation, a subsidiary of Nokia, including workers whose
wages were reported through Nokia Solutions & Networks LLC and
Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., Dublin, Ohio, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of telecommunications 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 Nokia of America Corporation, a subsidiary
of Nokia, including workers whose wages were reported
through Nokia Solutions & Networks LLC and Alcatel-Lucent
USA Inc., Dublin, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 30, 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.
