GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN
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 January 6, 2014, applicable to workers of Benteler Automotive, Grand Rapids, Michigan, including on-site leased workers from Manpower. The Department’s Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on January 10, 2014.
At the request of a state workforce official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
The company reports that workers leased from Lacosta Family Support Services were employed on-site at the subject firm. The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers leased from Lacosta Family Support Services working on-site at Benteler Automotive, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,294 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Lacosta Family Support Services reporting to Benteler Automotive, Grand Rapids, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 11, 2012, through January 6, 2016, 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.”

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 13, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Benteler Automotive, Grand Rapids, Michigan (“Benteler
Automotive” or “subject firm”). The subject worker group is
engaged in activities related to the production of structural
automotive safety components. The subject worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Manpower.
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 Benteler Automotive 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 articles like
or directly competitive with the structural automotive safety
components produced by the subject worker group, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Benteler Automotive.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Benteler Automotive,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Grand Rapids,
Michigan, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of structural automotive safety components, 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 Benteler Automotive, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Grand Rapids, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 11, 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.”
