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 June 26, 2009, by three workers, on behalf of workers of
Tata Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Tata Technologies
Limited, Novi, Michigan. The workers provide engineering design
and product lifecycle management services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Tata Technologies,
Inc., a subsidiary of Tata Technologies Limited, Novi, Michigan,
who are engaged in employment related to providing engineering
design and product lifecycle management, 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 Tata Technologies,
Inc., a subsidiary of Tata Technologies Limited, Novi, Michigan,
is acquiring engineering design and product lifecycle management
services from an affiliated vendor in India.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
engineering design and product lifecycle management services from
a foreign country by Tata Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of
Tata Technologies Limited, Novi, Michigan, contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Tata Technologies,
Inc., a subsidiary of Tata Technologies Limited, Novi, Michigan,
who are engaged in activities related to providing engineering
design and product lifecycle management 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 in of Tata Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of
Tata Technologies Limited, Novi, Michigan, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 25,
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 21st day of January 2010.
