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 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 September 15, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by the Georgia State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Android Industries, LLC, Ai-Doraville Division,
Norcross, Georgia. Workers at the subject firm sequenced automotive
components used in the production of automobiles, specifically the
Chevrolet Uplander and Pontiac Montana SV6.
The investigation revealed that employment declined absolutely
upon closure of the subject firm.
The production of Chevrolet Uplander and Pontiac Montana SV6
vehicles occurs at General Motors Corporation, Vehicle Manufacturing
Division, Doraville Assembly Plant, Doraville, Georgia. Workers of
this Doraville Assembly Plant are certified eligible to apply for
trade adjustment assistance. The investigation revealed that the
workers of Android Industries, LLC, Ai-Doraville Division, Norcross,
Georgia support production at the General Motors Doraville facility
and are under the control of General Motors there.
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 increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with Chevrolet Uplander and Pontiac Montana SV6
contributed to the total or partial separation of workers and to the
decline in sales or production and at that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers at Android Industries, LLC, Ai-Doraville Division,
Norcross, Georgia who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 5, 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 21st day of November 2008
