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 services used
in the production of 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 October 19, 2009 on behalf of workers of Bruckner
Supply working on-site at Dana Holding Corporation, Glasgow,
Kentucky. The workers provide maintenance, repair and
operation (MRO) integrator services at their client's facility
under a contractual agreement. The worker group includes
leased workers of SPG Staffing also working on-site at Dana
Holding Corporation, Glasgow, Kentucky.
The investigation revealed that workers of Bruckner Supply,
who are engaged in employment related to MRO integrator
services for Dana Holding Corporation, meet the criteria as
suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers are threatened to become separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of
Bruckner Supply provide maintenance, repair and operation
(MRO) integrator services to Dana Holding Corporation, a
producer of automobile parts. Workers of Dana Holding
Corporation, Glasgow, Kentucky, are covered by certification
number, TA-W-63,305, issued based on increased customer
imports.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Bruckner Supply with respect to MRO integrator services to
Dana Holding Corporation contributed importantly to worker
separations at Bruckner Supply, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bruckner Supply,
Inc., including leased workers of SPG Staffing, working on-site
at Dana Holding Corporation, Glasgow, Kentucky, who are engaged
in employment related to the supply of maintenance, repair and
operation (MRO) integrator services, 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 Bruckner Supply, Inc., including leased
workers of SPG Staffing, working on-site at Dana Holding
Corporation, Glasgow, Kentucky, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 16,
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 14th day of January, 2010
