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. See 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 22, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Delphi Steering, Saginaw, Michigan (Delphi). The workers
produce steering systems and components such as steering columns,
gears, pumps, and electronic power steering systems. The workers
are not separately identifiable by product.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Bartech
and Securitas.
The investigation revealed that workers of Delphi who are
engaged in employment related to the production of steering
systems and components meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because the subject firm separated
workers from 2007 to 2008 and during January through April 2009
when compared to the same time period the previous year.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign countries the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of steering systems and components to Mexico and Brazil
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Delphi.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Delphi Steering,
Saginaw, Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of steering systems and components 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 Delphi Steering, including on-site leased
workers from Bartech and Securitas, Saginaw, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 20, 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.”
