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 August 21, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers and former workers of Comcast Technology Solutions, LLC,
Content and Streaming Provider Solutions, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, Seattle,
Washington (Comcast-Content and Streaming Provider Solutions).
Workers of Comcast-Content and Streaming Provider Solutions are
engaged in activities related to the supply of multi-platform
video management and distribution services.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from NextGen Global, Harvey Nash, Pyramid Consulting, Computer
Enterprises, Apidel Technologies, Populus Group, and TechTrueUp.
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 in Comcast-Content and Streaming
Provider Solutions 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 multi-platform
video management and distribution services supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Comcast-Content and Streaming Provider Solutions.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Comcast-Content and
Streaming Provider Solutions, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of multi-platform video management and
distribution 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 Comcast Technology Solutions, LLC, Content
and Streaming Provider Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from NextGen Global, Harvey Nash, Pyramid
Consulting, Computer Enterprises, Apidel Technologies,
Populus Group, and TechTrueUp, Seattle, Washington, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 18, 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 10th day of September 2020.
