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 April 14, 2008,
applicable to workers of Chrysler LLC, St. Louis North Assembly
Plant, Fenton, Missouri. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on May 2, 2008 (73 FR 24317). The certification was
amended on November 18, 2009 and December 9, 2009 to include on-
site leased workers from HAAS TMC, Inc. and Logistics Services,
Inc. The notices were published in the Federal Register on
December 1, 2008 (73 FR 72848) and December 18, 2008 (73 FR
77069) respectively. It was amended again on October 30, 2009 to
include on-site leased workers from Robinson Solutions, and again
March 31, 2010 to include Logistics Management Services, and on
April 20, 2010 to include Corrigan Company and Murphy Company.
The notices were published in the Federal Register on November
12, 2009 (74 FR 58316), April 19, 2010 (75 FR 203832 – 20383),
and April 29, 2010 (75 FR 22627 – 22628) respectively.
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
assemble Dodge Ram full-sized pickup trucks.
New information shows that workers leased from Yazaki North
America were employed on-site at the Fenton, Missouri location of
Chrysler LLC, St. Louis North Assembly Plant. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control
of Chrysler LLC, St. Louis North Assembly Plant to be considered
leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Yazaki North America
working on-site at the Fenton, Missouri location of the subject
firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Chrysler LLC, St. Louis North Assembly
Plant, Fenton, Missouri who were adversely affected by increased
imports of Dodge Ram full-sized pickup trucks.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,052 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Chrysler LLC, St. Louis North Assembly
Plant, including on-site leased workers from HAAS TCM,
Inc., Logistics Services, Inc., Robinson Solutions,
Logistics Management Services, Corrigan Company,
Murphy Company and Yazaki North America, Fenton,
Missouri, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 18, 2007, through
April 14, 2010, 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 March 21, 2008, in response
to a petition filed by the United Auto Workers, Local 597, on
behalf of workers of Chrysler LLC, St. Louis North Assembly Plant,
Fenton, Missouri. The workers assemble Dodge Ram full-sized pickup
trucks.
The investigation revealed that employment and sales declined
in 2007 when compared with 2006.
The Department of Labor conducted an analysis of the United
States market share of vehicles like or directly competitive with
the full-sized pickup trucks produced at the St. Louis North
Assembly Plant. The investigation determined that imports of such
vehicles increased their share of the U.S. market from 2006 to
2007, while Dodge Rams decreased their share of the U.S. market.
Sales of other domestically manufactured vehicles in the same
category declined as well.
Although aggregate U.S. sales of imported like or directly
competitive vehicles declined in 2007 and the partial year 2008
period, sales to final customers of like vehicles produced at the
subject firm experienced much greater declines, showing an
increased consumer reliance on vehicles produced abroad.
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 the vehicles produced at the
subject plant 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 Chrysler LLC, St. Louis North Assembly Plant,
Fenton, Missouri, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 18, 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.”
