TA-W-63,305

DANA HOLDING CORPORATION
HEAVY VEHICLE DIVISION
INCLUDING ON-SITE WORKERS BEING PAID OUT OF KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN
GLASGOW, KENTUCKY

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 1074 (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 May 30, 2008,
applicable to workers of Dana Holding Corporation, Heavy Vehicle
Division, Glasgow, Kentucky. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on June 16, 2008 (73 FR 34043). The subject
workers produce gears, pinions, and differential gearings, and
are not separately identifiable by articles produced.
The Department reviewed the certification after receiving a
Trade Adjustment Assistance/Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance petition filed on behalf of workers of Dana Heavy
Vehicles System Group, Glasgow, Kentucky (TA-W-64,925).
The review showed that the workers covered by TA-W-64,925
are working at the subject firm but are being paid out of the
firm’s Kalamazoo, Michigan payroll. Therefore, the Department
determines that the workers covered by TA-W-64,925 are members of
the Glasgow, Kentucky group.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Dana Holding Corporation, Heavy Vehicle Division,
Glasgow, Kentucky, who were adversely affected by a shift in
production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,305 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Dana Holding Corporation, Heavy Vehicle
Division, Glasgow, Kentucky, including on-site workers
being paid out of Kalamazoo, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 24, 2007, through May 30, 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, 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 May 5, 2008, in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of Dana
Holding Corporation, Heavy Vehicle Division, Glasgow, Kentucky.
Workers of the subject firm produce gears, pinions, and
differential gearings. The workers are not separately identifiable
by articles produced.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at Dana
Holding Corporation, Heavy Vehicle Division, Glasgow, Kentucky,
are related to a shift in production of gears, pinions, and
differential gearings 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 gears, pinions, and
differential gearings produced by the subject firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Dana Holding Corporation, Heavy Vehicle
Division, Glasgow, Kentucky who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 24, 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."
