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 23, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of NTT Security Inc., Service Desk, Omaha, Nebraska
("NTT"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the supply of cyber security services inclusive of taking
client calls, providing technical solutions, skills and
meeting client's contracted obligations. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Tek Systems.
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 NTT.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of NTT Security Inc.,
Service Desk, including on-site leased workers from Tek
Systems, Omaha, Nebraska, Omaha, Nebraska, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of cyber security services
inclusive of taking client calls, providing technical
solutions, skills and meeting client's contracted obligations
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 NTT Security Inc., Service Desk, including
on-site leased workers from Tek Systems, Omaha, Nebraska,
Omaha, Nebraska, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 20, 2019, 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 14th day of April 2020.
