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 August 19, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of GM LAAM Holdings, LLC, Latin America, Africa and
Middle East Division, Miramar, Florida (hereinafter referred as
GM LAAM). The workers provide administrative functions to
support the GM International Operations services. The worker
group includes on-site leased worker of Securitas, EDS, Hewlett
Packard, Nexus Business Solutions, LLC, and Aerotek.
The investigation revealed that workers of GM LAAM, who are
engaged in administrative functions in support of GM
International Operations services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers have been separated from employment.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the worker's firm
has shifted to China the supply of services like or directly
competitive with the administrative functions supplied in
Miramar by the GM Latin America, Africa and Middle East
Division.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
administrative services supplied by workers in Miramar, Florida
to an affiliated company in a foreign country contributed
importantly to worker group separations at GM LAAM, Miramar,
Florida.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the GM LAAM Holdings
LLC, Latin America, Africa and Middle East Division, including
on-site leased workers of Securitas, EDS, Hewlett Packard, Nexus
Business Solutions, LLC, and Aerotek, Miramar, Florida, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of administrative
functions 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 The GM LAAM Holdings LLC, Latin America,
Africa and Middle East Division, including on-site leased
workers of Securitas, EDS, Hewlett Packard, Nexus Business
Solutions, LLC, and Aerotek, Miramar, Florida, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 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 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 December, 2009
