BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN

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 April 1, 2016, by a company official on behalf of
workers of WKW Roof Rail Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of WKW-
Erbsloeh Automotive, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Aeroteck and Manpower, Battle Creek, Michigan (WKW Roof Rail
Systems). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of automotive roof rails and running boards.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in WKW Roof Rail Systems
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 automotive roof rails and
running boards produced by the subject workers, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at WKW Roof
Rail Systems.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of WKW Roof Rail
Systems, Battle Creek, Michigan, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of automotive roof rails and running
boards, 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 WKW Roof Rail Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of
WKW-Erbsloeh Automotive, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Aeroteck and Manpower, Battle Creek, Michigan,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after March 31, 2015 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."
