Goodman Networks, Inc., Core Network Engineering (Deployment
Engineering) Division Including Workers in the Core Network Engineering
(Deployment Engineering) Division in Alpharetta, GA, Hunt Valley, MD,
Naperville, IL, and St. Louis, MO, Who Report to Plano, TX; Notice of
Revised Determination on Reconsideration
On December 12, 2012, the Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration
applicable to workers and former workers of Goodman Networks, Inc.,
Core Network Engineering (Deployment Engineering) Division, including
workers in the Core Network Engineering (Deployment Engineering)
Division in Alpharetta, Georgia, Hunt Valley, Maryland, Naperville,
Illinois, and St. Louis, Missouri, who report to Plano, Texas (subject
firm). The suffixes used in the initial determination to identify the
workers have been removed; however, the subject worker group remains
the same.
The workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
services of installation specification writing and maintenance customer
record drawings for the installation of telecommunication equipment.
The workers are not separately identifiable function or service
supplied. The worker group does not include any leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the subject firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened with such separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because subject firm sales of
installation specification writing and maintenance customer record
drawings services have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer imports of
services like or directly competitive with installation specification
writing and maintenance customer record drawings services supplied by
the subject firm have increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because increased
customer imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales declines at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Goodman
Networks, Inc., Core Network Engineering (Deployment Engineering)
Division, including workers in the Core Network Engineering (Deployment
Engineering) Division in Alpharetta, Georgia, Hunt Valley, Maryland,
Naperville, Illinois, and St. Louis, Missouri, who report to Plano,
Texas, who were engaged in employment related to the supply of services
for installation specification writing and maintenance customer record
drawings for the installation of telecommunication equipment, 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 Goodman Networks, Inc., Core Network Engineering
(Deployment Engineering) Division, including workers in the Core
Network Engineering (Deployment Engineering) Division in Alpharetta,
Georgia, Hunt Valley, Maryland, Naperville, Illinois, and St. Louis,
Missouri, who report to Plano, Texas who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 31, 2011, 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 at Washington, DC, this 8th day of February, 2013.
