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 December 7, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Dura Automotive Systems Cable Operations, LLC, Control
Systems Division, Milan, Tennessee. The firm is engaged in
production of automotive park brake cables. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Hamilton Ryker, Manpower,
Personnel Placements, Ranstad and People Link.
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 to a foreign country production of articles like or
directly competitive with the automotive park brake cables
produced by the workers' firm, which contributed importantly to
separations at the Milan, Tennessee facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dura Automotive
Systems Cable Operations, LLC, Control Systems Division, Milan,
Tennessee, who are engaged in activities related to production of
automotive park brake cables, 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 Dura Automotive Systems Cable Operations,
LLC, Control Systems Division, including on-site leased
workers from Hamilton Ryker, Manpower, Personnel Placements,
Ranstad and People Link, Milan, Tennessee, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 6, 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,"
