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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 8, 2018 by the State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of ADM Milling Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, including on-site leased workers
from Express Employment Professionals, Manpower and Aerotek,
Lincoln, Nebraska ("ADM Milling Co.,"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of flours, wheat
glutens, wheat starches, feed products and wheat protein
isolates.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at ADM Milling Co., have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of flours, wheat glutens, wheat starches, feed
products and wheat protein isolates produced by ADM Milling
Co., have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because the subject
firm's imports of articles like or directly competitive with
the articles produced by ADM Milling CO., have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased the subject firm's imports contributed importantly
to the worker group separations and sales/production declines
at ADM Milling Co.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ADM Milling Co., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Archer-Daniels-Midland Company,
including on-site leased workers from Express Employment
Professionals, Manpower and Aerotek, Lincoln, Nebraska, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of flours, wheat
glutens, wheat starches, feed products and wheat protein
isolates, 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 ADM Milling Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, including on-site leased
workers from Express Employment Professionals, Manpower and
Aerotek, Lincoln, Nebraska, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 7, 2017 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 3rd day of April 2018.
