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 December 4, 2008,
applicable to workers of Chrysler, LLC, Mack Avenue Engine Plants
1 & 2, Power Train Division, Detroit, Michigan. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2008 (73 FR
77067).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
produce engines sent to an affiliate for assembly into the Jeep
Commander and Jeep Grand Cherokee.
New information shows that workers leased from Caravan
Knight Facilities Management LLC were employed on-site at the
Detroit, Michigan location of Chrysler, LLC, Mack Avenue Engine
Plants 1 & 2, Power Train 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 Caravan Knight
Facilities Management LLC working on-site at the Detroit,
Michigan location of Chrysler, LLC, Mack Avenue Engine Plants 1 &
2, Power Train Division.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,324 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Chrysler, LLC, Mack Avenue Engine
Plants 1 & 2, Power Train Division, including on-site
leased workers from Caravan Knight Facilities
Management LLC, Detroit, Michigan, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
October 30, 2007, through December 4, 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.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 4th day of March 2010.

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), 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) (A)
of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 31, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by the United Automobile Aerospace
Agricultural Implement Workers of America, Local 51 on behalf of
workers at Chrysler LLC, Mack Avenue Engine Plants 1 & 2, Power
Train Division, Detroit, Michigan. The workers of the subject firm
produce engines sent to an affiliate for assembly into the Jeep
Commander and Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The investigation revealed that employment and sales at the
Mack Avenue Engine Plant declined in January through October 2008
compared with the same period of the previous year.
The subject workers at the Mack Avenue Engine Plants 1& 2
produced component parts for Chrysler LLC, Manufacturing Truck and
Activity Division, Jefferson North Assembly Plant, Detroit,
Michigan. Workers at that affiliate were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance on March 23, 2008 (TA-W-63,000).
Production at the Mack Avenue Engine Plants 1 & 2 forms part of an
integrated production process with the Jeep Commander and Jeep
Grand Cherokee at the North Jefferson Assembly Plant, and thus
workers at the Mack Avenue Engine Plant are also adversely affected
by the loss of business due to increase aggregate imports
experienced by the North Jefferson Assembly Plant affiliate.
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 possess skills that are not easily transferable to other
positions in the local commuting area. Competitive conditions
within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with engines produced by Chrysler LLC,
Mack Avenue Engine Plants 1 & 2, Power Train Division, Detroit,
Michigan, contributed importantly to the decline in employment and
sales at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
“All workers of Chrysler LLC, Mack Avenue Engine
Plants 1 & 2, Power Train Division, Detroit, Michigan who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 30, 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 4th day of December, 2008.
