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 30, 2019 on behalf of workers of Finastra USA
Corporation, Finastra Technology, Inc., Customer Support
Division, Plano, Texas. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of services and technology to
financial institutions, including professional, customer
support, IT, finance, and technical operations services. The
worker group was engaged in activities related to the supply
of customer support services. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Beacon Hill Staffing Group and GTN Technical
Staffing and Consulting.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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, Finastra Technology,
Inc., Customer Support Division, Plano, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Finastra USA
Corporation, Finastra Technology, Inc., Customer Support
Division, Plano, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of customer 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, Finastra
Technology, Inc., Customer Support Division, including on-
site leased workers from Beacon Hill Staffing Group and GTN
Technical Staffing and Consulting, Plano, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 29, 2018 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 26th day of July 2019.
