Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. (Set forth in Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii)).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 18, 2009 by a union official from the American
Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations
(AFL-CIO) on behalf of workers of Dana Commercial Vehicles
Products, LLC, a subsidiary of Dana Limited, a subsidiary of
Dana Holding Corporation, Humbolt, Tennessee. The worker group
also includes on-site leased workers of Manpower, Inc. and
Peoplelink Staffing Solutions. Workers produced front steer
axles and drive axle housings. The petitioner alleged that a
shift in production had led to worker separations.
The investigation revealed that workers of Dana Commercial
Vehicles Products, LLC, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of front steer axles and drive axle housings,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Dana Commercial
Vehicles Products, LLC, Humboldt, Tennessee has shifted
production of front steer axles and drive axle housings to
Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of front steer axles and drive axle housings by
Dana Commercial Vehicles Products, Humbolt, Tennessee
contributed importantly to worker separations at Dana
Commercial Vehicles Products, LLC,.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dana Commercial
Vehicles Products, a subsidiary of Dana Limited, a subsidiary of
Dana Holding Corporation LLC, including on-site leased workers
of Manpower, Inc. and Peoplelink Staffing Solutions, Humbolt,
Tennessee, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of front steer axles and drive axle housings, meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:


"All workers of Dana Commercial Vehicles Products, LLC, a
subsidiary of Dana Limited, a subsidiary of Dana Holding
Corporation, including on-site leased workers of Manpower,
Inc. and Peoplelink Staffing Solutions, Humbolt, Tennessee,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 18, 2008, through two years from the date
of certification, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 18th day of June 2009.
