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 15, 2015 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of GM Subsystems Manufacturing, LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors Company, Lake Orion,
Michigan. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production automotive parts. The workers sub-assemble and
sequence parts incorporated into automobiles assembled at a
General Motor facility whose workers were certified eligible
to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance based upon a shift in
production of automobiles to a foreign country with an actual
or likely increase in imports (TA-W-85,742).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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' firm which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at GM Subsystems Manufacturing, LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors Company, Lake Orion,
Michigan.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of GM Subsystems
Manufacturing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General
Motors Company, Lake Orion, Michigan, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of automotive parts 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 GM Subsystems Manufacturing, LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors Company, Lake
Orion, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 14, 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."
