Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on July 27, 2010, applicable to workers of General
Motors Vehicle Manufacturing, formerly known as General Motors
Corporation, Shreveport Assembly Plant, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek and Kelly Services, Shreveport, Louisiana.
The workers are engaged in the production of the Chevrolet
Colorado, GMC Canyon and Hummer H-3 and H-3T vehicles. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2010
(75 FR 49530). The notice was amended on April 4, 2011 and
January 31, 2012 to include on-site leased workers from Voith
Industrial Service, Inc., formerly known as Premier Manufacturing
Support Services and Shreveport Ramp Services, LLC. The amended
notices were published in the Federal Register on April 14, 2011
(76 FR 21035) and February 8, 2012 (77 FR 6587), respectively.
At the request of Louisiana State agency, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
company reports that workers leased from Dana Holding Corp., The
Landing of GM, Filtration Services Group, LLC, BASF, G4S Secure
Coalition, Seibert Powder Coating and Advantis Occupational
Health were employed on-site at the Shreveport, Louisiana
location of General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing, formerly known
as General Motors Corporation, Shreveport Assembly Plant. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing,
formerly known as General Motors Corporation, Shreveport Assembly
Plant to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from the above mentioned
firms working on-site at the Shreveport, Louisiana location of
General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing, formerly known as General
Motors Corporation, Shreveport Assembly Plant.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,081 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing,
formerly known as General Motors Corporation,
Shreveport Assembly Plant, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Kelly Services and Voith
Industrial Services, Inc., formerly known as Premier
Manufacturing Support Services, Shreveport Ramp
Services, LLC, Dana Holding Corp., The Landing of GM,
Filtration Services Group, LLC, BASF, G4S Secure
Coalition, Seibert Powder Coating and Advantis
Occupational Health, Shreveport, Louisiana, who became

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

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 May 13, 2010 by a state official on behalf of workers of
General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing, formerly known as General
Motors Corporation, Shreveport Assembly Plant, Shreveport,
Louisiana. The group also includes on-site leased workers from
Aerotek and Kelly Services. The workers are engaged in activities
related the production of the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and
Hummer H-3 and H-3T vehicles. The workers are not separately
identifiable by vehicle.
The workers are currently covered by an existing TAA
certification, TA-W-63,793. The workers were certified based on
increased aggregate imports. The current certification is set to
expire on August 27, 2010.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Shreveport
Assembly Plant, who are engaged in employment related to the
assembly of automobiles, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant portion
of workers has been separated in the last year.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the production of
automobiles by the Shreveport Assembly Plant has declined in the
relevant period of the investigation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
automobiles assembled at the Shreveport Assembly Plant have
increased. Specifically, U.S. imports of small pickups and lower
mid-range SUVs increased relative to subject vehicle sales in
January through April 2010 compared with the same period in 2009.
Sales of the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Hummer H-3 and H-
3T vehicles represented a smaller share of the total U.S. market
compared with imported similar vehicles in the above periods.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased U.S. aggregate imports of small pickups and lower mid-
range SUVs contributed importantly to the worker group separations
and production declines at the Shreveport Assembly Plant.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Motors Vehicle
Manufacturing, formerly known as General Motors Corporation,
Shreveport Assembly Plant, Shreveport, Louisiana, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek and Kelly Services, who are engaged in
activities related the production of the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC
Canyon, and Hummer H-3 and H-3T vehicles 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 Vehicle Manufacturing, formerly
known as General Motors Corporation, Shreveport Assembly
Plant, Shreveport, Louisiana, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek and Kelly Services, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 28,
2010, 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.”
