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 28, 2006, in response
to a petition filed by a State agency representative on behalf of
workers of Bartech Technical Services, LLC, working on-site at
General Motors, Lansing Metal Center, Lansing, Michigan. The on-
site workers are production supervisors.
In determining leased worker eligibility for adjustment
assistance, the Department must first determine if a contract is in
place with the producing firm. 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 Bartech Technical Services, LLC. Bartech Technical Services,
LLC does not have a contract with the producing firm.
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 Bartech Technical
Services, LLC, working on-site at General Motors, Lansing Metal
Center, Lansing, Michigan, 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.
