THYSSENKRUPP BUDD
EMPLOYMENTGIANT LLC
DETROIT, 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 February 28, 2007,
applicable to workers of Thyssenkrupp Budd, Detroit, Michigan.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on March 14,
2007 (72 FR 11904).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of automotive exterior body
stampings and assemblies.
New information shows that Thyssenkrupp Budd contracted to
have the workers’ payroll managed through EmploymentGiant LLC,
located in Warren, Michigan. Therefore, some of the workers
separated from employment at the subject firm have had their
wages reported under the Unemployment Insurance (UI) account for
EmploymentGiant LLC.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to include the workers of Thyssenkrupp Budd whose wages were
reported as EmploymentGiant LLC.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,703 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Thyssenkrupp Budd, EmploymentGiant LLC,
Detroit, Michigan, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 13, 2005
through February 28, 2009, 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."

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 its 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 January 4, 2007 in response
to a worker petition on behalf of workers of Thyssenkrupp Budd,
Detroit, Michigan. Workers produced automotive exterior body
stampings and assemblies.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment all declined absolutely upon the subject facility’s
shutdown on December 4, 2006.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject facility’s
primary customers regarding purchases of automotive exterior body
stamping and assemblies in 2005, and 2006. The survey revealed
increasing customer imports during the relevant period.
United States aggregate imports of automotive exterior body
stamping and assemblies increased substantially from 2005 to 2006.
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 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.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with automotive exterior body
stampings and assemblies produced at Thyssenkrupp Budd, Detroit,
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 Thyssenkrupp Budd, Detroit, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 13, 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.”
