INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM

VANDALIA, OHIO

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 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 October 22, 2008,
applicable to workers of Delphi Corporation, Electronics and
Safety Division, Vandalia, Ohio. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on November 10, 2008 (73 FR 66676).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of door modules, instrument panels,
airbags, steering wheels, and power products.
New information shows that workers leased from Bartech,
Manpower Professional and TRC (Transportation Research Center,
Inc.) were employed on-site at the Vandalia, Ohio location of
Delphi Corporation, Electronics and Safety Division. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Bartech, Manpower
Professional and TRC (Transportation Research Center, Inc.)
working on-site at the Vandalia, Ohio location of the subject
firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Delphi Corporation, Electronics and
Safety Division who were adversely affected by increased imports
following a shift in production of door modules, instrument
panels, airbags steering wheels and power products to Mexico.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,207 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Delphi Corporation, Electronics and
Safety Division, including on-site leased workers from
Bartech, Manpower Professional and TRC (Transportation
Research Center, Inc.), Vandalia, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 24, 2007, through October 22, 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 10, 2008, in
response to a petition filed by workers of Delphi Corporation,
Electronics and Safety Division, Vandalia, Ohio. The workers are
engaged in support activities related to the production of door
modules, instrument panels, airbags, steering wheels, and power
products. The workers are not separately identifiable by product
line.
The investigation revealed that employment declined at the
subject facility during the relevant period.
The subject workers supported production for Delphi
Corporation, Thermal-Vandalia Plant, Vandalia, Ohio. Those workers
are under an existing adjustment assistance certification (TA-W-
62,298) which will expire on October 24, 2009. The certification
was based on a shift in production of instrument panels and airbags
to a country (Mexico) that is party to a free trade agreement with
the United States.
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 the shift in production of articles
like or directly competitive with instrument panels and airbags
from Delphi Corporation to Mexico, contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of workers at that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Delphi Corporation, Electronics and Safety
Division, Vandalia, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 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.”
