FISHER & COMPANY, INC.
A DIVISION OF FISHER INCORPORATED
TROY, MICHIGAN

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on September 12, 2006 in response to a petition filed by a
state agency on behalf of workers of Fisher & Company, Inc., a
division of Fisher Corporation, Troy, Michigan. The workers at the
subject location are engaged in activities related to the
production of formed metal automotive components.
The investigation revealed that Fisher & Company, Inc., Troy,
Michigan supplies component parts for motor vehicle seats and at
least 20 percent of its production or sales are supplied to a
manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance.
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 addition, in order for the Department to issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group
eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be
met. The Department has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fisher Dynamics, a
division of Fisher & Company, Inc., a division of Fisher
Corporation, Troy, Michigan qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Fisher & Company, Inc., a division of Fisher
Corporation, Troy, Michigan who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 5, 2005
through two years from the date of certification are eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 28th day of September, 2006.
