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 May 4, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Finastra USA Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Accountemps, Ultimate Staffing, and TCS,
Portland, Oregon. The workers are engaged in activities related
to the supply of product and customer support, finance, and
information technology support services. The workers are not
separately identifiable by function.
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 such workers' firm 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 a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Finastra USA Corporation, Portland, Oregon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Finastra USA
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Accountemps, Ultimate Staffing, and TCS, Portland, Oregon, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of product and
customer support, finance, and information technology support
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 Finastra USA Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek, Accountemps, Ultimate
Staffing, and TCS, Portland, Oregon, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 3, 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 12th day of June 2018.
