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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm must
have become totally or partially separated or be threatened
with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(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
(i)(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.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must
have contributed importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation. See Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 1, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Sara Lee Corporation, Downers Grove, Illinois. The workers
provide accounting, information technology and payroll services.
The worker group also includes on-site leased workers from EDS,
Hewitt Packard, Sapphire Technology and Teksystems.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sara Lee
Corporation, who are engaged in employment related to accounting,
information technology and payroll services, meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated from employment during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
acquired services from foreign countries like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services supplied from the Philippines and India by Sara Lee
Corporation contributed importantly to worker group separations
at the Downers Grove, Illinois facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sara Lee Corporation,
Downers Grove, Illinois, including on-site leased workers from
EDS, Hewitt Packard, Sapphire Technology and Teksystems, who are
engaged in employment related to accounting, information
technology and payroll 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 Sara Lee Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from EDS, Hewitt Packard, Sapphire Technology
and Teksystems, Downers Grove, Illinois, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 30,
2008, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on 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.”
