DAYTON, OHIO

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 January 8, 2009 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Logistics Services, Inc.,
Dayton, Ohio. Workers at the subject firm were engaged in sub-
assembly and sequencing of the automotive components used in the
production of automobiles, specifically the Buick Ranier, Chevrolet
TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7X.
The investigation revealed that employment declined absolutely
upon closure of the subject facility.
The production of Buick Ranier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC
Envoy, Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7X vehicles occurs at General
Motors Corporation, Vehicle Manufacturing Division, Moraine Assembly
Plant, Moraine, Ohio. Workers of this Moraine Assembly Plant are
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance. The
investigation revealed that the workers of Logistics Services, Inc.,
Dayton, Ohio support production at the General Motors Moraine
facility and are sufficiently under the control of General Motors for
General Motors to be considered a joint employer of the subject firm
workers. Subject firm workers are thus subject to the same adverse
impact from imported vehicles.
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 the Buick Ranier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy,
Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7X 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 Logistics Services, Inc., Dayton, Ohio who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of January 2009
