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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply
of services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section
222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other
firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 9, 2009, on behalf of workers of Future Die Cast
& Engineering, Inc. (Future Die Cast). The workers produce
aluminum and zinc die cast parts.
The investigation revealed that the worker group at the
subject facility includes on-site leased workers from Labor
Ready Midwest, Inc.
The investigation further revealed that workers of Future
Die Cast who are engaged in employment related to the
production of aluminum and zinc die cast parts meet the
criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment at the
subject facility declined during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of Future
Die Cast produced and sold aluminum and zinc die cast parts to
Chrysler LLC to be incorporated into automobiles, specifically
the Chrysler Sebring, Chrysler Sebring Convertible, and Dodge
Avenger. Workers of Chrysler LLC are covered by certification
TA-W-65,762 based on increased U.S. imports of lower mid-range
cars like or directly competitive with the Chrysler Sebring
and Dodge Avenger.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Future Die Cast with respect to aluminum and zinc die cast
parts sold to Chrysler LLC contributed importantly to worker
separations at Future Die Cast.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Future Die Cast &
Engineering, Inc., Shelby Township, Michigan, who are engaged
in employment related to the production of aluminum and zinc
die cast parts 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 Future Die Cast & Engineering, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Labor Ready
Midwest, Inc., Shelby Township, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 3, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 27th day of August, 2009.
