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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 30, 2017 on behalf of workers and former
workers of Faurecia Automotive, 3100 Sims Drive, Sterling
Heights, Michigan (TA-W-92,589), 17801 E. 14 Mile Road, Fraser,
Michigan (TA-W-92,589A), 42555 Merrill Road, Sterling Heights,
Michigan (TA-W-92,589B), 17805 Masonic Drive, Fraser, Michigan
(TA-W-92,589C), and 6100 Sims Drive, Sterling Heights, Michigan
(TA-W-92,589D)(hereafter collectively referred to as "Faurecia-
Michigan"). Members of the subject worker group may be
represented by the International Union, United Automobile,
Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of America - UAW.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of seats for the automotive industry.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner(s).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Faurecia-Michigan have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production at Faurecia-Michigan have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the article
produced by Faurecia-Michigan have increased during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because increased
customer imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Faurecia-Michigan.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Faurecia-Michigan
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 Faurecia Automotive, 3100 Sims Drive,
Sterling Heights, Michigan (TA-W-92,589), 17801 E. 14 Mile
Road, Fraser, Michigan (TA-W-92,589A), 42555 Merrill Road,
Sterling Heights, Michigan (TA-W-92,589B), 17805 Masonic
Drive, Fraser, Michigan (TA-W-92,589C), and 6100 Sims
Drive, Sterling Heights, Michigan (TA-W-92,589D), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 27, 2016 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 6th day of February 2018.
