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 7, 2009 by three workers of TRW Automotive,
Body Control Systems North America Division, Galesville Plant,
Galesville, Wisconsin. Workers of the subject firm are engaged
in activities related to the production of plastic injection
molded components. Workers are not separately identifiable by
product lines.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
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 met because workers of the subject
firm provided plastic injection molded components to firms
that employed worker groups who are covered by an active
certification and incorporate the article produced by the
subject firm into HVAC controls, switches and transmission
switches, and other automotive components.
Criterion III has been met because the article produced
by the subject firm for firms that employed worker groups
covered by active Trade Adjustment Assistance certifications
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or sales
of the subject firm.















Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TRW Automotive, Body
Control Systems North America Division, Galesville Plant,
Galesville, Wisconsin who are engaged in activities related to
the production of plastic injection molded components 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 TRW Automotive, Body Control Systems North
America Division, Galesville Plant, Galesville, Wisconsin,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after October 11, 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 13th day of April, 2010
