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 April 24, 2018 by an one-stop operator/partner on
behalf of the workers of Metaswitch Networks Corp., Support and
Professional Services division, a subsidiary of Metaswitch
Networks Ltd., Green Village, Colorado (Metaswitch Networks
Corp.).
The worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of post-sale support and installation services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Metaswitch Networks Corp. 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 services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations in
Metaswitch Networks Corp.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Metaswitch Networks
Corp., Support and Professional Services division, a subsidiary
of Metaswitch Networks Ltd., Green Village, Colorado who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of post-sale support
and installation 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 Metaswitch Networks Corp., Support and
Professional Services division, a subsidiary of Metaswitch
Networks Ltd., Green Village, Colorado, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April
23, 2017 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 8th day of May 2018.
