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

applicable to workers of Jatco USA, Inc., Remanufacturing
Department, Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327); Jatco USA, Inc.,

The workers were engaged in the production of remanufactured
automatic transmissions. Workers also inspected the
remanufactured automatic transmissions and provided
administrative support for the production of remanufactured
automatic transmissions.
At the request of the company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
Information shows that workers leased from Kelly Services,
Inc. and Express Personnel were employed on-site at the
Remanufacturing Department, Quality Investigations Department and
Administrative Department at the Wixom location of Jatco USA,
Inc. The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of Jatco USA, Inc.,
Remanufacturing Department, Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327); Jatco
USA, Inc., Quality Investigations Department, Wixom, Michigan
(TA-W-64,327A); and Jatco USA, Inc., Administrative Department,

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this

Remanufacturing Department, Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327); Jatco
USA, Inc., Quality Investigations Department, Wixom, Michigan
(TA-W-64,327A); and Jatco USA, Inc., Administrative Department,
Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327B) to be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Jatco USA, Inc., Remanufacturing
Department, Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327); Jatco USA, Inc.,
Quality Investigations Department, Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-
64,327A); and Jatco USA, Inc., Administrative Department, Wixom,
Michigan (TA-W-64,327B) who were adversely affected by a shift in
production of remanufactured automatic transmissions to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,327 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Jatco USA, Inc., Remanufacturing
Department, including on-site leased workers of Kelly
Services, Inc. and Express Personnel, Wixom, Michigan
(TA-W-64,327); Jatco USA, Inc., Quality Investigations
Department, including on-site leased workers of Kelly

(TA-W-64,327B), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 30, 2007,
through November 18, 2010, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for

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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on November 3, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Jatco USA, Inc., Remanufacturing Department, Wixom,
Michigan (TA-W-64,327); Jatco USA, Inc., Quality Investigations
Department, Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327A); and Jatco USA, Inc.,
Administrative Department, Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327B). Workers
at the subject firm produced remanufactured automatic
transmissions, inspected the remanufactured automatic transmissions
and provided administrative support for the production of
remanufactured automatic transmissions.
The investigation revealed that the declines in employment at
the subject firm are related to a shift in production of
remanufactured automatic transmissions to a country (Mexico) that
is party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
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 there has been a shift in
production from the workers’ firm or subdivision to Mexico of
articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced
by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Jatco USA, Inc., Remanufacturing Department,
Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327); Jatco USA, Inc., Quality
Investigations Department, Wixom, Michigan (TA-W-64,327A); and
Jatco USA, Inc., Administrative Department, Wixom, Michigan
(TA-W-64,327B) who became totally separated from employment on
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.”
