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 September 14, 2009 by the United Auto Workers, Local
653 on behalf of workers of General Motors Company, formerly
known as General Motors Corporation, Pontiac Metal Center,
Metal Fabricating, Pontiac, Michigan (GM). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of metal
automotive stampings and assemblies. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Securitas, Premier, EDS, IS One,
Comprehensive Logistics and Quaker.
The investigation revealed that workers of GM who are
engaged in employment related to the production of metal
automotive stampings and assemblies meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker 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 workers of GM
produced and sold metal automotive stampings and assemblies to
firms that employed worker groups who are covered by active
certifications to be incorporated into the Cheverlot Malibu,
the Pontiac G6, the Open GT, the Pontiac Solstice, and the
Saturn Sky.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by GM, Incorporated with TAA-certified firms, with respect to
metal automotive stampings and assemblies sold to the TAA-
certified firms, contributed importantly to worker separations
at GM.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Motors
Company, formerly known as General Motors Corporation, Pontiac
Metal Center, Metal Fabricating, including on-site leased
workers from Securitas, Premier, EDS, IS One, Comprehensive
Logistics and Quaker, Pontiac, Michigan, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of metal automotive
stampings and assemblies 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 General Motors Company, formerly known as
General Motors Corporation, Pontiac Metal Center, Metal
Fabricating, including on-site leased workers from
Securitas, Premier, EDS, IS One, Comprehensive Logistics
and Quaker, Pontiac, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
9, 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 March, 2010.
