Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to

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 April 6, 2011, applicable to workers of

Plant #1, including on-site leased workers of Caravan Knight,
Detroit, Michigan. The workers are engaged in the production of
automotive engines. The notice will be published soon in the
Federal Register.
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The review
shows that on December 4, 2008, a certification of eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance was issued for all workers of
Chrysler LLC, Mack Avenue Engine Plants 1 & 2, Power Train
Division, Detroit, Michigan, separated from employment on or
after October 30, 2007 through December 4, 2010. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2008 (73 FR

In order to avoid an overlap in worker group coverage, the
Department is amending the December 16, 2009 impact date
established for TA-W-75,023, to read December 5, 2010.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,023 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Chrysler Group, LLC, Power Train Division,
Mack Avenue Engine Plant #1, including on-site leased

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.”

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 December 22, 2010 by both a representative of the
United Automotive Workers, Local 51, and a company official on
behalf of workers of Chrysler Group, LLC, Power Train Division,
Mack Avenue Engine Plant #1, Detroit, Michigan (Mack Engine
Plant #1). The workers produce automotive engines. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers of Caravan Knight.
The investigation revealed that workers of Mack Engine
Plant #1, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of automotive engines, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers at Mack Engine Plant #1 have been totally or
partially separated, or are threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the engines produced by the
workers at Mack Engine Plant #1.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico contributed importantly to threatened
worker group separations at Mack Engine Plant #1.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mack Engine Plant #1,
who are engaged in employment related to production of
automotive engines, 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 Chrysler Group, LLC, Power Train
Division, Mack Avenue Engine Plant #1, including on-site
leased workers of Caravan Knight, Detroit, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 16, 2009, through two years from the date
of certification, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on
December 16, 2010 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.”
