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 October 30, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Dana Holding Corporation, Structural Solutions
Group, Longview, Texas. The workers produce truck frame assemblies.
The worker group includes on-site workers from Career Personnel.
Employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant
period.
The investigation revealed that Dana Holding Corporation,
Structural Solutions Group, Longview, Texas supplies component
parts for automotive vehicles, 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 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 workers of Dana Holding
Corporation, Structural Solutions Group, including on-site workers
of Career Personnel, Longview, Texas 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 Dana Holding Corporation, Structural Solutions
Group, including on-site workers of Career Personnel,
Longview, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 29, 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 10th day of December 2008
