INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
MODERN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, TAC AUTOMOTIVE, SYNCREON, CSC,
RESOURCE TECH AND CARAVAN KNIGHT FACILITIES MANAGEMENT LLC
DETROIT, 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 January 29, 2009,
applicable to workers of Chrysler, LLC, Mount Elliott Tool and
Die, including on-site leased workers from Modern Professional
Services, TAC Automotive, Syncreon, CSC, and Resource Tech,
Detroit, Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on February 23, 2009 (74 FR 8114).
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 dies and tooling.
New information shows that workers leased from Caravan
Knight Facilities Management LLC were employed on-site at the
Detroit, Michigan location of Chrysler, LLC, Mount Elliott Tool
and Die. 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, Mount Elliott Tool and Die.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,731 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Chrysler, LLC, Mount Elliott Tool and
Die, including on-site leased workers of Modern
Professional Services, TAC Automotive, Syncreon, CSC,
Resource Tech and Caravan Knight Facilities Management
LLC, Detroit, Michigan, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 16,
2007, through January 29, 2011, 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), 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 December 18, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America, Local 212, on behalf of workers of Chrysler, LLC, Mount
Elliott Tool and Die, Detroit, Michigan. The workers are engaged in
the production of automotive dies and tooling.
The worker group includes on-site workers from Modern
Professional Services, TAC Automotive, Syncreon, CSC, and Resource
Tech.
The investigation revealed that employment and sales at Mount
Elliott Tool and Die declined from 2006 to 2007 and in January
through November 2008 compared with the same period in 2007.
The subject workers were part of an integrated production
process supporting automotive vehicle production at Chrysler LLC
affiliates, whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance. Workers at Mount Elliott Tool and Die are
affected by the same factors that led to the certification of the
workers engaged in the production of automobiles at the affiliated
assembly plants.
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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with automotive vehicles produced by
the subject firm or subdivision contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales
or production at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Chrysler, LLC, Mount Elliott Tool and Die,
including on-site leased workers of Modern Professional
Services, TAC Automotive, Syncreon, CSC, and Resource Tech,
Detroit, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 16, 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 eligible to apply for alternative trade adjust-
ment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
