INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM STAFFMARK, SECURITAS, AND
SOUTHERN UNIVERSAL
GALLATIN, TENNESSEE

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 October 16, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Robert Bosch, LLC, Automotive Technology - Chassis
Division, Gallatin, Tennessee. Workers of the subject firm
assemble braking systems; they are not separately identifiable by
articles produced.
The subject firm leased on-site workers from Staffmark,
Securitas, and Southern Universal.
The subject firm was certified under a previous certification
(TA-W-57,539) (shift in production to a country with a free trade
agreement/beneficiary (Mexico)) on August 5, 2005 which expired
August 5, 2007.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at
Robert Bosch, LLC, Automotive Technology - Chassis Division,
Gallatin, Tennessee is related to a shift in production of assembly
of braking systems to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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 Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with the braking systems produced
by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Robert Bosch, LLC, Automotive Technology -
Chassis Division, including on-site leased workers from
Staffmark, Securitas, and Southern Universal, Gallatin,
Tennessee who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 6, 2007 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 25th day of October 2007
