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.

“Firm includes an individual proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation (including a development
corporation), business trust, cooperative, trustee in bankruptcy,
and receiver under decree of any court.” 29 CFR 90.2
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 20, 2015, by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Dana Sealing Manufacturing, LLC, Power Technologies
Division, a subsidiary of Dana Holding Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Manpower, Robinson, Illinois (Dana
Sealing). The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of gaskets and gasket kits.
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 Dana Sealing 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 gaskets and gasket kits produced
by the subject workers, which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Dana Sealing.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dana Sealing
Manufacturing, LLC, Power Technologies Division, Robinson,
Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of gaskets and gasket kits, 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 Dana Sealing Manufacturing, LLC, Power
Technologies Division, a subsidiary of Dana Holding
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Robinson, Illinois, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 20, 2014 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.”
