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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers’ firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or supply
of services like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers’ firm; or
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers’ firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers’ firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must
have contributed importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation. See Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 6, 2010 on behalf of workers of Metalsa
Structural Products, formerly known as Dana Holding
Corporation, Product Validation Group, Pottstown, Pennsylvania
(Metalsa Structural Products). Workers are engaged in activities
related to testing services for structural products. The
workers are not separately identifiable. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Yoh Services, LLC.
The investigation revealed that workers of Metalsa
Structural Products, formerly known as Dana Holding
Corporation, Product Validation Group, including on-site leased
workers from Yoh Services, LLC, Pottstown, Pennsylvania who are
engaged in activities related to testing services for
structural products meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at the workers’ firm have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country testing services for
structural products during the relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of testing
services for structural products to Mexico by Metalsa
Structural Products contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Metalsa Structural Products.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Metalsa Structural
Products, formerly known as Dana Holding Corporation, Product
Validation Group, including on-site leased workers from Yoh
Services, LLC, Pottstown, Pennsylvania who are engaged in
activities related to testing services for structural products
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 Metalsa Structural Products, formerly known
as Dana Holding Corporation, Product Validation Group,
including on-site leased workers from Yoh Services, LLC,
Pottstown, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 1, 2009, through
two years from the date of certification, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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 2nd day of July, 2010.
