INCLUDING WORKERS WHOSE WAGES WERE REPORTED UNDER NOKIA

COPPELL, TEXAS


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 October 9, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Nokia of America Corporation,
a subsidiary of Nokia, including workers whose wages were
reported under Nokia Solutions & Networks LLC and Alcatel-
Lucent USA Inc., Coppell, Texas (Nokia of America-Coppell).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of telecommunications services. The subject worker group does
not include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Nokia of America-Coppell
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(s) the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the telecommunications service
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Nokia of America-Coppell.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nokia of America-
Coppell, 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
under Nokia Solutions & Networks LLC and Alcatel-Lucent
USA Inc., Coppell, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 8, 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 26th day of December 2019.
