GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
SERVICE PARTS OPERATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF

BEAVERTON, OREGON

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 26, 2006, in response
to a petition filed by a state workforce representative on behalf
of workers of General Motors Corporation, Service Parts Operation,
Beaverton, Oregon. Workers of the subject firm are engaged in
warehousing and distribution of motor vehicle parts.
The investigation revealed that General Motors Corporation,
Service Parts Operation, Beaverton, Oregon, does not produce an
article within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2) of the Act. In
order to be considered eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker
group seeking certification (or on whose behalf certification is
being sought) must work for a "firm" or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article and there must be a relationship between
the workers' work and the article produced by the workers' firm
or appropriate subdivision. The warehousing and distribution
workers described above do not support a firm or appropriate
subdivision that produces an article domestically and thus the
worker group can not be considered import impacted or affected by
a shift in production of an article.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm also leased
workers from OAOT, Aerotek, BarTech, and Securitas to warehouse
and distribute motor vehicle parts.
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, of the facts obtained in this
investigation, I determine that all workers of General Motors
Corporation, Service Parts Operation, including on-site leased
workers of OAOT, Aerotek, BarTech, and Securitas, Beaverton,
Oregon, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 as
amended.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of August, 2006.
