Plant, Kenosha, Wisconsin (subject firm). The Department’s
notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on

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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers’ firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 29, 2009 by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America (UAW), Local 72, on behalf of workers of Chrysler Group
LLC, formerly known as Chrysler LLC, Kenosha Engine Plant, Kenosha,
Wisconsin. The workers are engaged in the production of V-6
automobile engines, which are shipped to affiliated plants where
they are used in the assembly of automotive vehicles.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Kenosha Engine
Plant who are engaged in employment related to the production of
V-6 automobile engines meet the criteria for certification.
The subject workers are part of an integrated production
process supporting automotive vehicle production at several
Chrysler Group LLC affiliates, including Chrysler Group LLC,
formerly known as Chrysler LLC, Sterling Heights Assembly Plant,
Sterling Heights, Michigan. Workers at the Sterling Heights
Assembly Plant were certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance based on increased aggregate imports of lower mid-range
cars like or directly competitive with Chrysler Sebring and Dodge
Avenger. Workers at the Kenosha Engine Plant are affected by the
same factors that led to the certification of the workers engaged
in the production of automobiles at the affiliated assembly plant.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant portion
of workers has been separated in the last year.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of V-6 automobile engines by the Kenosha Engine
Plant decreased from 2007 to 2008 and in January through May 2009
compared with the same period in 2008.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles or services like or directly competitive with the
Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger have increased. Specifically,
imports of lower mid-range cars have relatively increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased U.S. aggregate imports of lower mid-range cars
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Kenosha Engine Plant.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chrysler Group LLC,
formerly known as Chrysler LLC, Kenosha Engine Plant, Kenosha,
Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment related to the production
of V-6 automobile engines 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 Chrysler Group LLC, formerly known as Chrysler
LLC, Kenosha Engine Plant, Kenosha, Wisconsin, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after May
27, 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.”
