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 15, 2008,
applicable to workers of Chrysler LLC, Kokomo Transmission Plant,
Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana, Chrysler LLC, Indiana
Transmission Plants 1 and 2, Powertrain Division, Kokomo,
Indiana, and Chrysler LLC, Kokomo Casting Plant, TCMA Division,
Kokomo, Indiana. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on January 14, 2009 (74 FR 2136).
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 aluminum transmissions, cases
and component parts.
New information shows that workers leased from Aerotek,
American Food & Vending, and Wackenhut Security were employed on-
site at the Kokomo, Indiana locations of the above mentioned
plants of Chrysler LLC.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of Chrysler LLC, Kokomo
Transmission, Indiana Transmission Plants 1 & 2, and Kokomo
Casting Plant to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Aerotek, American
Food & Vending and Wackenhut Security working on-site at the
Kokomo, Indiana locations of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,494 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Chrysler LLC, Kokomo Transmission
Plant, Powertrain Division, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, American Food & Vending and
Wackenhut Security, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494),
Chrysler LLC, Indiana Transmission Plants 1 & 2,
Powertrain Division, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, American Food & Vending and Wackenhut
Security, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494A), and Chrysler
LLC, Kokomo Casting Plant, TCMA Division, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek, American Food &
Vending and Wackenhut Security, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-
64,494B), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 14, 2007 through
December 15, 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 (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 November 21, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America, Local 685, on behalf of workers of Chrysler LLC, Kokomo
Transmission Plant, Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-
64,494), Chrysler LLC, Indiana Transmission Plants 1 & 2,
Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494A). The workers
at Chrysler LLC, Kokomo Transmission Plant, Powertrain Division,
Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494) and Chrysler LLC, Indiana
Transmission Plants 1 & 2, Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana
(TA-W-64,494A) produce aluminum transmissions, cases, and component
parts.
The investigation was expanded to encompass the workers at
Chrysler LLC, Kokomo Casting Plant, TCMA Division, Kokomo, Indiana
(TA-W-64,494B). The workers produce aluminum die cast transmission
cases and components which are vertically integrated as part of the
firm’s transmission plant production identified above.
The investigation revealed that Chrysler LLC, Kokomo
Transmission Plant, Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-
64,494) and Chrysler LLC, Indiana Transmission Plants 1 & 2,
Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494A), supplied
component parts for vehicles and a loss of business with a
manufacturer of vehicles whose workers were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance contributed importantly to the
separation or threat of separation of workers at Chrysler LLC,
Kokomo Transmission Plant, Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana
(TA-W-64,494), Chrysler LLC, Indiana Transmission Plants 1 & 2,
Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494A), and Chrysler
LLC, Kokomo Casting Plant, TCMA Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-
64,494B).
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. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chrysler LLC, Kokomo
Transmission Plant, Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-
64,494), Chrysler LLC, Indiana Transmission Plants 1 & 2,
Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494A), and Chrysler
LLC, Kokomo Casting Plant, TCMA Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-
64,494B), 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 Chrysler LLC, Kokomo Transmission Plant,
Powertrain Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494), Chrysler
LLC, Indiana Transmission Plants 1 & 2, Powertrain Division,
Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494A), and Chrysler LLC, Kokomo
Casting Plant, TCMA Division, Kokomo, Indiana (TA-W-64,494B),
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after November 14, 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.”
