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 May 24, 2019 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Sabre GLBL Inc., Airline Solutions, Professional Services and
Consulting Organization, Sabre Sonic Delivery Department, a
subsidiary of Sabre Holdings, Southlake, Texas ("Sabre"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
software and services to a broad range of travel suppliers and
travel buyers including airlines, hotels, car rental brands,
rail carriers, cruise lines, and tour operator services. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
testing and implementing new/updated software products for
specific airline customers.
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 service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Sabre.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sabre GLBL Inc.,
Airline Solutions, Professional Services and Consulting
Organization, Sabre Sonic Delivery Department, a subsidiary of
Sabre Holdings, Southlake, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of testing and implementing new/updated
software products for specific airline customers 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 Sabre GLBL Inc., Airline Solutions,
Professional Services and Consulting Organization, Sabre
Sonic Delivery Department, a subsidiary of Sabre
Holdings, Southlake, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 23, 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 28th day of October 2019.
