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, 2019 by the State of California on behalf of
workers and former workers of Airespring, Inc., Van Nuys,
California (Airespring). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of information technology (IT)
and network operating services, specifically managed
connectivity, cloud and voice communications, long distance and
data services. The worker group does not include on-site leased
workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Airespring 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 service supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Airespring.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Airespring, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of IT and network
operating 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 Airespring, Inc., Van Nuys, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 13, 2018, 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 24th day of May 2019.
