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 13, 2010, by the United Autoworkers Union,
Local 1433 on behalf of workers of AAR Manufacturing, Inc.,
Mobility Systems Division, a subsidiary of AAR Corporation,
Cadillac, Michigan. The workers produce deployment systems for
defense applications, such as truck trailers.
The investigation revealed that workers of AAR
Manufacturing, Inc., Cadillac, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to production of deployment systems, meet
the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers have been totally or partially separated
during the period under investigation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the
production of deployment systems by AAR Manufacturing, Inc.,
Cadillac, Michigan, have decreased absolutely during the period
under investigation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the deployment
systems produced by AAR Manufacturing, Inc., Cadillac, Michigan,
have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and production declines at the Cadillac,
Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AAR Manufacturing,
Inc., Mobility Systems Division, a subsidiary of AAR
Corporation, Cadillac, Michigan, who are engaged in employment
related to production of deployment systems, 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 AAR Manufacturing, Inc., Mobility Systems
Division, a subsidiary of AAR Corporation, Cadillac,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 7, 2009, 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 7th day of January, 2011
