ANDERSON GLOBAL, INC.
A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF SHAPE DYNAMICS, INC.
MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, 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, 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)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on November 28, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Local Lodge PM 2848 on behalf
of workers of Anderson Global Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Shape Dynamics, Inc., Muskegon Heights, Michigan. The workers
produce foundry tooling.
Workers of the subject facility were certified eligible to
apply for trade adjustment assistance on August 20, 2003 (TA-W-
51,663). That certification expired August 20, 2005.
Employment at the subject facility decreased during the
period under investigation. The separations are directly
attributable to production at the facility being shifted to
China for subsequent import and sale in the United States.
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 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 there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to China of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to
be an increase in imports of like or directly competitive
articles. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Anderson Global Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Shape Dynamics, Inc., Muskegon Heights,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 27, 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 February 2007
