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 September 28, 2016, by a State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Mondelez Global LLC, San Antonio, Texas
(Mondelez Global LLC). The workers’ firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of confectionary food and
beverages. The affected workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of financial services, payroll, accounts
payable, HR and travel services. The worker groups are
separately identifiable by services supplied by the firm.

collected from the workers’ firm.

become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers’

supply of financial services, payroll, accounts payable, HR and

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, San Antonio, Texas,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 27, 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.”
