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 September 20, 2012 by a State Workforce Agency on
behalf of workers of Constellation Homebuilder Systems, Fast
Division, a Subsidiary of Constellation Software, Inc., Redmond,
Washington (Constellation). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of Enterprise Resource
Software (ERS) products for the homebuilder and land developer
industry.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at Constellation have become
totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because Constellation has
shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like or
directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm,
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Constellation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Constellation
Homebuilder Systems, Fast Division, a Subsidiary of
Constellation Software, Inc., Redmond, Washington, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of Enterprise
Resource Software (ERS) products, 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 Constellation Homebuilder Systems, Fast
Division, a Subsidiary of Constellation Software, Inc.,
Redmond, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 14, 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 in Washington, D.C., this 12th day of October, 2012
