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 July 8, 2009 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance, a subsidiary
of The Chrysler Group LLC, Dundee, Michigan. The workers
produce 4-cylinder engines for automobiles. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Premier.
The investigation revealed that workers of Global Engine
Manufacturing Alliance, who are engaged in employment related
to production of 4-cylinder engines, meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated from employment during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of Global
Engine Manufacturing Alliance produced and sold 4-cylinder
engines to Chrysler LLC, Sterling Heights Assembly, Sterling
Heights, Michigan and Chrysler Group, LLC, Belvidere, Illinois
to be incorporated into automobiles. Workers of Chrysler LLC,
Sterling Heights Assembly, Sterling Heights, Michigan are
covered by certification number TA-W-62,762 issued on April
27, 2009 based on increased aggregate imports of automobiles.
Workers of Chrysler Group, LLC, Belvidere, Illinois are
covered by certification number TA-W-71,263 issued on
September 8, 2009 based on increased aggregate imports of
automobiles.
Criterion III has been met because the 4-cylinder engines
produced by Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance for Chrysler
LLC, Sterling Heights Assembly, Sterling Heights, Michigan and
Chrysler Group, LLC, Belvidere, Illinois accounted for at
least 20 percent of the production and sales of Global Engine
Manufacturing Alliance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Global Engine
Manufacturing Alliance, a subsidiary of The Chrysler Group
LLC, including on-site leased workers from Premier, Dundee,
Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of 4-cylinder 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 Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance, a
subsidiary of The Chrysler Group LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Premier, Dundee, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 6, 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 22nd day of September, 2009
