Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on January 13, 2010, applicable to workers
of Sara Lee Corporation, Master Data, Cash Applications,
Deductions, Collections, Call Center, Information Technology,
Accounts Payable, General Accounts, Financial Accounting,
Payroll, and Employee Master Data Departments, Earth City,
Missouri. The Department’s notice was published in the Federal
Register on February 16, 2010 (75 FR 7037). The subject workers
supply a variety of support services.
At the request of a worker group, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm.
New findings show that workers at an affiliated facility in
Bellevue, Nebraska supply accounting and payroll services for
Sara Lee Bakery facilities in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of Sara Lee Corporation supplying accounting
and payroll services at the Bellevue, Nebraska facility.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
the subject firm’s acquisition from foreign countries services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers, including but not limited to accounting and payroll.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,529 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Sara Lee Corporation, Master Data, Cash
Applications, Deductions, Collections, Call Center,
Information Technology, Accounts Payable, General
Accounts, Financial Accounting, Payroll, and Employee
Master Data Departments, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco, Crossfire, Kelly, K-Force, Labor Ready
Staffing, Randstad, RGP, RHI, Sapphire Technology, Select
Staffing, Snelling Staffing, TekSystems, The Brighton
Group, TraSys, VIP Staffing, and Workforce Temps, Earth
City, Missouri (TA-W-71,529) and all workers of Sara Lee
Corporation, Bellevue, Nebraska (TA-W-71,529A), supplying
accounting and payroll services, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 1,
2008 through January 13, 2012, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on the date of certification through January 1, 2012, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”

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 worker
petition filed on July 2, 2009 on behalf of workers of Sara Lee
Corporation, Master Data, Cash Applications, Deductions,
Collections, Call Center, Information Technology, Accounts
Payable, General Accounts, Financial Accounting, Payroll, and
Employee Master Data Departments, Earth City, Missouri. The
workers are engaged in support services such as information
technology, accounting, and payroll. The worker groups include
on-site leased workers from Adecco, Crossfire, Kelly, K-Force,
Labor Ready Staffing, Randstad, RGP, RHI, Sapphire Technology,
Select Staffing, Snelling Staffing, TekSystems, The Brighton
Group, TraSys, VIP Staffing, and Workforce Temps. This
determination only covers affected employees in the
aforementioned departments.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sara Lee
Corporation who are engaged in employment related to support
functions meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
portion of the workers in the workers’ firm have become
totally or partially separated in the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has acquired from foreign countries support services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
support services from India and the Philippines by Sara Lee
Corporation contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Sara Lee Corporation, Earth City, Missouri.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sara Lee Corporation,
Master Data, Cash Applications, Deductions, Collections, Call
Center, Information Technology, Accounts Payable, General
Accounts, Financial Accounting, Payroll, and Employee Master
Data Departments, Earth City, Missouri, who are engaged in
employment related to support functions 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, Master Data, Cash
Applications, Deductions, Collections, Call Center,
Information Technology, Accounts Payable, General
Accounts, Financial Accounting, Payroll, and Employee
Master Data Departments, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco, Crossfire, Kelly, K-Force, Labor Ready
Staffing, Randstad, RGP, RHI, Sapphire Technology, Select
Staffing, Snelling Staffing, TekSystems, The Brighton
Group, TraSys, VIP Staffing, and Workforce Temps, Earth
City, Missouri, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 1, 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.”

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 worker
petition filed on July 2, 2009 on behalf of workers of Sara Lee
Corporation, Master Data, Cash Applications, Deductions,
Collections, Call Center, Information Technology, Accounts
Payable, General Accounts, Financial Accounting, Payroll, and
Employee Master Data Departments, Earth City, Missouri. The
workers are engaged in support services such as information

on-site leased workers from Adecco, Crossfire, Kelly, K-Force,
Labor Ready Staffing, Randstad, RGP, RHI, Sapphire Technology,
Select Staffing, Snelling Staffing, TekSystems, The Brighton
Group, TraSys, VIP Staffing, and Workforce Temps. This
determination only covers affected employees in the
aforementioned departments.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sara Lee
Corporation who are engaged in employment related to support
functions meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
portion of the workers in the workers’ firm have become
totally or partially separated in the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has acquired from foreign countries support services like or

workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
support services from India and the Philippines by Sara Lee

separations at Sara Lee Corporation, Earth City, Missouri.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sara Lee Corporation,

Center, Information Technology, Accounts Payable, General
Accounts, Financial Accounting, Payroll, and Employee Master
Data Departments, Earth City, Missouri, who are engaged in
employment related to support functions meet the worker group
