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 March 23, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Cargill Meat Solutions Corp., Finance division, a
subsidiary of Cargill, Inc., Wichita, Kansas (Cargill Meat
Solutions Corp.). The workers' the subject of the investigation

related services to internal Cargill Meat Solutions Corp.
stakeholders services The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Attero, Russell Tobin, Apex Life
Sciences, Robert Half, and SGS Consulting.
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 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 supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the

separations at Cargill Meat Solutions Corp.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cargill Meat
Solutions Corp., Finance division, a subsidiary of Cargill,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Attero,
Russell Tobin, Apex Life Sciences, Robert Half, and SGS
Consulting, Wichita, Kansas, who are engaged in activities

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:

division, a subsidiary of Cargill, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek, Attero, Russell Tobin,
Apex Life Sciences, Robert Half, and SGS Consulting,
Wichita, Kansas, who became totally or partially separated

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
