Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility

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 December 9, 2011, applicable to workers of Cequent
Performance Product, a subsidiary of TriMas Corporation, Tekonsha,
Michigan. The Department’s Notice of determination was published in
the Federal Register on December 21, 2011 (76 FR 79223).
At the request of the State Workforce Office, the Department

well as Cequent Performance Products, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification

shift in production to Reynosa, Mexico of electronic brake
controllers for Ford Motor Company.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,101 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Cequent Performance Product, a subsidiary of
TriMas Corporation, including workers whose wages were
reported under Tekonsha Towing Systems, Inc., Cequent

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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers’
separation or threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 18, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Cequent Performance Products, a subsidiary of Trimas
Corporation, Tekonsha, Michigan (Cequent Tekonsha). The workers’
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
electronic brake controllers assembly. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Manpower, Inc.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
Section 222(b)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(b)(2) has been met because Cequent Tekonsha is a
Supplier to a firm or subdivision that employed a group of workers
who received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to the
actual finished article that was the basis for such certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cequent Performance
Products, a subsidiary of Trimas Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower, Inc., Tekonsha, Michigan, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of electronic brake
controllers assembly 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 Cequent Performance Products, a subsidiary of
Trimas Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Inc., Tekonsha, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 13,
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.”
