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 May 24, 2019 by a state workforce official on behalf of
workers and former workers of ConAgra Brands, Inc., Global
Business Information Services, Cherry Hill, New Jersey (TA-W-
94,841) and ConAgra Brands, Inc., Global Business Information
Services, Parsippany, New Jersey (TA-94,841A)(hereafter
collectively referred to as "ConAgra, GBIS-New Jersey"). Workers
of ConAgra, GBIS-New Jersey are engaged in activities related to
the supply of information technology and business support
services. The subject worker group does not include on-site
leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in ConAgra, GBIS-New Jersey 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 the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at ConAgra, GBIS-New Jersey.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ConAgra, GBIS-New
Jersey, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
information technology and business support services, 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 ConAgra Brands, Inc. Global Business
Information Services, Cherry Hill, New Jersey (TA-W-94,841),
and ConAgra Brands, Inc. Global Business Information
Services, Parsippany, New Jersey (TA-W-94,841A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 23, 2018 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 19th day of June 2019.
