Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on July 6, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of CAD design workers of Acro Service Corporation,
working at General Motors, Detroit, Michigan. The subject firm
is a staffing agency that provides engineering, IT, office
support and industrial services to numerous clients worldwide.
The investigation revealed that Acro Service Corporation
does not have a contract with General Motor, Detroit, Michigan.
The investigation revealed Acro Service Corporation assigns
employees in accordance with job orders provided by a third
party. In the current case, the Arco engineers are assigned to
Engineered Plastics Products, Ypsilanti, Michigan to provide CAD
services on a contract basis.
In determining leased worker eligibility for adjustment
assistance, the Department must first determine if a contract is
in place. Leased workers may be certified if there is a valid
contract for their services directly with a firm whose workers
are trade affected. That condition is not present for Acro
Service Corporation, Livonia, Michigan,
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance
(TAA). Since the workers are denied eligibility to apply for
TAA, the workers cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.


Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Acro
Service Corporation, Livonia, are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, and are also denied eligibility to apply for alternative
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 25th day of August, 2006.
