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 July 28, 2020 on behalf of workers and former workers of
Veritas Technologies LLC, Backup Exec Organization (BEO), Global
Support & Services Organization (GSSO), EV.cloud Organization
(EO), Lake Mary, Florida (Veritas-BEO/GSSO/EO, Lake Mary). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
software publication services and related services, such as
technical and customer support. The petition states "The local
workforce for our department was moved to . . . India."

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, and public
sources.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Veritas-BEO/GSSO/EO, Lake Mary
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 a portion of the supply of
services like or directly competitive with the services supplied
by the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Veritas-BEO/GSSO/EO, Lake Mary.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Veritas-BEO/GSSO/EO,

Lake Mary 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 Veritas Technologies LLC, Backup Exec
Organization (BEO), Global Support & Services Organization
(GSSO), EV.cloud Organization (EO), Lake Mary, Florida, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 27, 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 29th day of December, 2020
