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 22, 2011 by a State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc.
(NUMMI), formerly a joint venture of General Motors
Corporation (Motors Liquidation Company) and Toyota Motor
Corporation, Fremont, California. The workers’ firm was engaged
in activities related to the production of the Pontiac Vibe,
Toyota Corolla, and Toyota Tacoma. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Corestaff.
Workers of NUMMI, formerly a joint venture of General
Motors Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Corestaff, Fremont, California, were
previously certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under petition number TA-W-72,748. That certification expired
on November 19, 2011.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
Section 222(a)(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(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted the production of articles like or directly
competitive to the Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla and Toyota
Tacoma to a foreign country, which contributed importantly to
the worker group separations at NUMMI.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of New United Motor
Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI), formerly a joint venture of
General Motors Corporation (Motors Liquidation Company) and
Toyota Motor Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Corestaff, Fremont, California, who were engaged in
activities related to the production of Pontiac Vibe, Toyota
Corolla and Toyota Tacoma, 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 New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc.
(NUMMI), formerly a joint venture of General Motors
Corporation (Motors Liquidation Company) and Toyota Motor
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Corestaff, Fremont, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November
20, 2011, 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 30th day of December, 2011.
