CHARLEVOIX PLANT
A SUBSIDIARY OF MILACRON, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF AEROTEK
CHARLEVOIX, MICHIGAN
Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 8, 2006,
applicable to workers of D-M-E Company, Charlevoix Plant, a
subsidiary of Milacron, Inc., Charlevoix, Michigan. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2006 (71 FR
68844).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of pins and sleeves (i.e. tooling
for plastics).
New information shows that leased workers of Aerotek were
employed on-site at the Charlevoix, Michigan location of D-M-E
Company, Charlevoix Plant, a subsidiary of Milacron, Inc.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of Aerotek working on-
site at D-M-E Company, Charlevoix Plant, a subsidiary of
Milacron, Inc., Charlevoix, Michigan.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at D-M-E Company, Charlevoix Plant, a
subsidiary of Milacron, Inc., Charlevoix Michigan who were
adversely affected by increased company imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,301 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of D-M-E Company, Charlevoix Plant, a
subsidiary of Milacron, Inc., including on-site leased
workers of Aerotek, Charlevoix, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 25, 2005, through November 8, 2008, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 18th day of January 2007.

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, 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.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 26, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of D-M-E Company, Charlevoix Plant, a subsidiary of
Milacron, Inc., Charlevoix, Michigan. The workers are engaged in
the production of pins and sleeves (i.e. tooling for plastics).
The investigation determined that production and employment at
the subject facility declined from 2004 to 2005 and in January
through August 2006.
The investigation also revealed that company imports of pins
and sleeves (i.e. tooling for plastics) increased during in
relevant period.
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 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 do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with pins and sleeves (i.e. tooling
for plastics) produced by D-M-E Company, Charlevoix Plant, a
subsidiary of Milacron, Inc., Charlevoix, Michigan, contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
“All workers of D-M-E Company, Charlevoix Plant, a subsidiary
of Milacron, Inc., Charlevoix, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 25,
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 and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 8th day of November, 2006.
