CHRYSLER, LLC
TRENTON ENGINE PLANT
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
CARAVAN KNIGHT FACILITIES MANAGEMENT LLC AND
DEVON FACILITY MANAGEMENT
TRENTON, MICHIGAN

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 March 4, 2010,
applicable to workers of Chrysler, LLC, Trenton Engine Plant,
including on-site leased workers from Caravan Knight Facilities
Management LLC, Trenton, Michigan. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on March 12, 2010 (75 FR 11915).
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 automotive engines.
New information shows that workers leased from Devon
Facility Management were employed on-site at the Trenton,
Michigan location of Chrysler, LLC, Trenton Engine Plant. 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 Devon Facility
Management working on-site at the Trenton, Michigan location of
Chrysler, LLC, Trenton Engine Plant.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,550 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Chrysler, LLC, Trenton Engine Plant,
including on-site leased workers from Caravan Knight
Facilities Management LLC and Devon Facility
Management, Trenton, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after
November 26, 2007, through December 16, 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 day of April 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), 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 28, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by the United Automobile, Aerospace,
Agricultural Implement Workers of America International Union,
Local 372 on behalf of workers of Chrysler LLC, Trenton Engine
Plant, Trenton, Michigan. The workers produce engines for the
automotive industry.
The investigation revealed that Chrysler LLC, Trenton Engine
Plant, Trenton, Michigan supplies component parts for vehicles, and
at least 20 percent of its production or sales is supplied to a
manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance.
In addition, 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, Trenton
Engine Plant, Trenton, Michigan 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, Trenton Engine Plant, Trenton,
Michigan who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 26, 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."
