Negative Determination 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.
The investigation was initiated on June 10, 2008 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of leased
workers of Dynamic Technology, Inc. employed on-site at General
Motors locations in: Milford, Michigan; Warren, Michigan; Pontiac,
Michigan; and Mesa, Arizona, as noted above. The workers perform
calibration and repair on automobile testing equipment, as well as
asset management of automobile testing equipment parts.
The investigation revealed that Dynamic Technology, Inc., does
not produce an article within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2) of
the Act. In order to be considered eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974,
the worker group seeking certification (or on whose behalf
certification is being sought) must work for a "firm" or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article and there must be
a relationship between the workers' work and the article produced
by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision. The workers
perform calibration and repair on automobile testing equipment, as
well as asset management of automobile testing equipment parts
described above do not support a firm or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article domestically and thus the worker group can
not be considered import impacted or affected by a shift in
production of an article.
The worker group provides services in support of automotive
research and development activities, and is not affiliated with
production.
The investigation revealed that the General Motors testing and
research and development facilities at which the workers of the
subject firm are employed on-site are not under current
certification.
The investigation also revealed that the work currently
performed by the workers of the subject firm will be done by
General Motors employees.
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 worker group must be certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the
workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot
be certified eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Dynamic
Technology, Inc. employed on-site at General Motors, Milford,
Michigan; Warren, Michigan; Pontiac, Michigan; and Mesa, Arizona
are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 3rd day of July 2008
