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 April 1, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Royal Ingredients, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
ED&F Man, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Lab
Support, Horizon Systems, Jobs, 1st Choice, and 911 Staffing,
Swedesboro, New Jersey (herein referred to as "Royal
Ingredients"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of refined sugar.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Royal Ingredients.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Royal Ingredients,
LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ED&F Man, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Lab Support, Horizon Systems,
Jobs, 1st Choice, and 911 Staffing, Swedesboro, New Jersey, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of refined
sugar 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 Royal Ingredients, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of ED&F Man, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Lab Support, Horizon Systems, Jobs, 1st
Choice, and 911 Staffing, Swedesboro, New Jersey, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 31, 2015 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 24th day of April 2016.
