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 December 1, 2009 on behalf of workers of Matcor
Automotive, Inc., Moberly, Missouri. The workers produce metal
stampings and complex weld assemblies for the automotive
industry. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from GSN Staffing, Ameristaff, and Express Employment
Professionals.
The investigation revealed that workers of Matcor
Automotive, who are engaged in employment related to
production of metal stampings and weld assemblies, meet the
criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated during the relevant time period.
Criterion II has been met because Matcor Automotive
produced component parts that were directly supplied to firms
that employed TAA-certified worker groups, and the components
supplied were related to the production of articles that were
the basis for the TAA certifications.
Criterion III has been met because the metal stampings
and weld assemblies produced by Matcor Automotive for the
firms that employed the certified worker groups accounted for
at least 20 percent of the production or sales of Matcor
Automotive.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Matcor Automotive,
Inc., Moberly, Missouri, who are engaged in employment related
to production of metal stampings and weld assemblies, meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(c) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:


"All workers of Matcor Automotive, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from GSN Staffing, Ameristaff, and Express
Employment Professionals, Moberly, Missouri, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 24, 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 6th day of August, 2010
