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 June 13, 2013 by United Automobile Workers (UAW),
Local 467, on behalf of workers of General Motors Metal Castings
Operations, Powertrain Division, Saginaw, Michigan. The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
aluminum engine blocks and head castings. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Developmental
Dimensions International.
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 to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at General Motors Metal Castings Operations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Motors Metal
Castings Operations, Powertrain Division, including on-site
leased workers from Developmental Dimensions International,
Saginaw, Michigan, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of aluminum engine blocks and head castings 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 Metal Castings Operations,
Powertrain Division, including on-site leased workers from
Developmental Dimensions International, Saginaw, Michigan,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 12, 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 26th day of August, 2013.
