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 an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a
secondarily affected worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements
of paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended,
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (b) of Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on July 16, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Johnson Controls Injection Molding, LLC, Clarkston
Division, Clarkston, Michigan. Workers at the subject firm
produced plastic automotive and non-automotive parts; workers
were not separately identifiable by product line.
Additionally, workers wages were also reported under the
corporate name of - Plastech Engineered Products.
The investigation revealed Johnson Controls Injection
Molding, LLC, Clarkston Division, Clarkston, Michigan, supplied
component parts for vertical spring, quattro, and horizontal
intek engines, and at least 20 percent of its production or
sales are supplied to a manufacturer whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance.
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.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or
over and do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Johnson Controls
Injection Molding, LLC, Clarkston Division, including workers
whose wages were reported under the corporate name of Plastech
Engineered Products, Clarkston, Michigan qualify as adversely
affected secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of workers Johnson Controls Injection Molding,
LLC, Clarkston Division, including workers whose wages were
reported under the corporate name of Plastech Engineered
Products, Clarkston, Michigan who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 15,
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 at Washington, D.C., this 13th day of August 2008.
