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 January 14, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Mondelez Global LLC, Business Services Center, San
Antonio, Texas. The worker group, herein known as “Mondelez
Global LLC”, is inclusive of on-site leased workers from Abacus
Service Corporation, American CyberSystems, Inc., Collabera,
Kelly Services, Kforce, Inc., Lancesoft, Northbound, LLC, RCG
Information Technology, Inc., Robert Half International, Sunrise
Systems, Synectics, Inc., and The Fountain Group and of workers
whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through
Kraft Foods, Inc. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of accounts payable, travel and expense,
and administration, including the continuous improvement team.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from 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 acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Mondelez
Global LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mondelez Global LLC,
Business Services Center, including on-site leased workers from
Abacus Service Corporation, American CyberSystems, Inc.,
Collabera, Kelly Services, Kforce, Inc., Lancesoft, Northbound,
LLC, RCG Information Technology, Inc., Robert Half
International, Sunrise Systems, Synectics, Inc., and The
Fountain Group and workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages were reported through Kraft Foods, Inc., San Antonio,
Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
accounts payable, travel and expense, and administration,
including the continuous improvement team, 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 Mondelez Global LLC, Business Services
Center, including on-site leased workers from Abacus
Service Corporation, American CyberSystems, Inc.,
Collabera, Kelly Services, Kforce, Inc., Lancesoft,
Northbound, LLC, RCG Information Technology, Inc., Robert
Half International, Sunrise Systems, Synectics, Inc., and
The Fountain Group and workers whose unemployment insurance
(UI) wages were reported through Kraft Foods, Inc., San
Antonio, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 11, 2012, 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 20th day of February, 2013.
