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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on May 20, 2008 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Spicer Driveshaft, LLC, a subsidiary of Dana Corporation Holding
Company, Marion, Indiana. The workers produce automotive parts,
specifically automotive drive-shaft components like heavy duty end
yokes, light duty sleeve yokes and tubing products. The workers are
not separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that workers' wages of Spicer
Driveshaft, LLC were also reported under FEID number for
TorqueTraction.
The investigation revealed Spicer Driveshaft, LLC leased
workers from Manpower.
The investigation also revealed that the preponderance of
declines in employment at the subject facility is related to a
shift in production of heavy duty end yokes to a country (Mexico)
that is party to a free trade agreement with 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 was a shift in production from the
workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles like or directly
competitive with heavy duty end yokes produced by Spicer
Driveshaft, LLC, a subsidiary of Dana Corporation Holding Company,
Marion, Indiana. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of Spicer Driveshaft, LLC, a subsidiary of Dana
Corporation Holding Company, Marion, Indiana, including
workers whose wages are reported under FEID for
TorqueTraction, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 12, 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 9th day of June 2008
