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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers’ firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on December 18, 2009, on behalf of workers of General
Motors, Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan. The workers
support production of automobiles. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Accretive Solutions, Detroit, Inc.; Acro
Service Corporation; Aerotek, Inc.; Ajilon Consulting; Altair
Engineering, Inc.; Aquent LLC; Global Technology Associates, Ltd.;
JDM Systems Consultants, Inc.; Kelly Service, Inc.; Populus Group;
and TEK Systems.
The investigation revealed that workers of General Motors who
are engaged in employment related to production of automobiles
meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the worker group was separated during the period of
investigation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales and
production of automobiles by General Motors have decreased
absolutely during the period of investigation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of automobiles like or directly competitive with
automobiles produced by General Motors have increased relative to
domestic production.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased U.S. aggregate imports of automobiles contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and sales/production
declines at the Detroit, Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Motors
Corporation, Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan, who are engaged
in employment related to support of automobile production, 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 Corporation, Renaissance
Center, including on-site leased workers from Accretive
Solutions, Detroit, Inc.; Acro Service Corporation; Aerotek,
Inc.; Ajilon Consulting; Altair Engineering, Inc.; Aquent LLC;
Global Technology Associates, Ltd.; JDM Systems Consultants,
Inc.; Kelly Service, Inc.; Populus Group; and TEK Systems,
Detroit, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 18, 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.”
