CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
FORMERLY KNOWN AS CHRYSLER LLC
WARREN OFFICE BUILDING
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
PRODUCT ACTION INTERNATIONAL, LLC
WARREN, MICHIGAN

Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on March 19, 2010 applicable to workers of
Chrysler Group LLC, formerly known as Chrysler LLC, Warren
Office Building, Warren, Michigan. The notice will be published
in the Federal Register soon.
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to production of automobiles.
The company reports that workers leased from Product
Action International, LLC were employed on-site at the Warren,
Michigan location of Chrysler Group LLC, formerly known as
Chrysler LLC, Warren Truck Assembly Plant. 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 Product Action
International, LLC working on-site at the Warren, Michigan
location of Chrysler Group LLC, formerly known as Chrysler LLC,
Warren Office Building.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,049 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Chrysler Group LLC, formerly known as
Chrysler LLC, Warren Office Building, including on-site
leased workers from Product Action International, LLC,
Warren, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 27, 2008, through March 19,
2012, and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on the 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.”

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 June 8, 2009 on behalf of workers of Chrysler Group
LLC, formerly known as Chrysler LLC, Warren Office Building,
Warren, Michigan. The workers are engaged in activities related
to automobile production.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Warren
Office Building who are engaged in employment related to the
production of automobiles 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, Warren Truck Assembly Plant,
Warren, Michigan. Workers at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant
were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance based
on increased aggregate imports of automobiles like or directly
competitive with the Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram and Mitsubishi
Raider. Workers at the Warren Office Building 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
proportion of the workers have been separated during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met the sales and
production of the workers’ firm have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because U.S.
aggregate imports of vehicles like or directly competitive
with the Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram and Mitsubishi Raider have
increased relative to domestic production.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the relative increase in U.S. aggregate imports contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Chrysler Group LLC,
formerly known as Chrysler LLC, Warren Office Building, Warren,
Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of automobiles 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, Warren Office Building, Warren, Michigan, 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 the 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.”
