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 August 3, 2012, applicable to workers of General
Motors Vehicle Manufacturing, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Kelly Services, Voith Industrial Services,
Shreveport Ramp Services, Dana Holding Corporation, The Landing
of GM, Filtration Services Group, BASF, G4S Secure Services,
Seibert Powder Coating, and Advantis Occupational Health,
Shreveport, Louisiana (subject firm).
On September 17, 2012, the Department issued an amended
certification to include on-site leased workers of Veolia ES
Industrial Services, Inc. and Automotive Quality Associates.
The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of pick-up trucks.
Based on information provided in a later-filed Trade
Adjustment Assistance petition, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm.
New information from the subject firm shows that workers
from Career Adventures are sufficiently under the control of
General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing, Shreveport, Louisiana, to
be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased imports of pick-up trucks.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Career Adventures
working on-site at the subject firm. The amended notice
applicable to TA-W-81,751 is hereby issued as follows:








“All workers of General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Kelly
Services, Voith Industrial Services, Shreveport Ramp
Services, Dana Holding Corporation, The Landing of GM,
Filtration Services Group, BASF, G4S Secure Services,
Seibert Powder Coating, Advantis Occupational Health, Veolia
ES Industrial Services, Inc., Automotive Quality Associates,
and Career Adventures, Shreveport, Louisiana, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 28, 2012, through August 3, 2014, 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 2nd day of October, 2012

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 June 25, 2012 by a Louisiana state workforce official on
behalf of workers of General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Kelly Services,
Voith Industrial Services, Shreveport Ramp Services, Dana Holding
Corporation, The Landing of GM, Filtration Services Group, BASF,
G4S Secure Services, Seibert Powder Coating, and Advantis
Occupational Health, Shreveport, Louisiana. The workers’ firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of Chevrolet
Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks. Workers of General Motors
Vehicle Manufacturing, including the on-site leased workers, were
previously certified under TA-W-74,081, which expired on July 27,
2012.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon by
General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by General Motors Vehicle Manufacturing have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at General Motors
Vehicle Manufacturing.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Motors Vehicle
Manufacturing, Shreveport, Louisiana, who are engaged in
activities related to production of Chevrolet Colorado and GMC
Canyon pickup trucks, 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,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Kelly
Services, Voith Industrial Services, Shreveport Ramp
Services, Dana Holding Corporation, The Landing of GM,
Filtration Services Group, BASF, G4S Secure Services,
Seibert Powder Coating, and Advantis Occupational Health,
Shreveport, Louisiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 28, 2012, 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 3rd day of August, 2012.
