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 18, 2019 on behalf of workers and former
workers of Nexteer Automotive, North America Division,
including on-site leased workers from Arco Staffing
Corporation, Advantage Technical, Aerotek Inc., Fast Switch
Great Lake LLC, GlobalEdge Technologies, PI Square
Technologies LLC, and Prince Technology LLC, Saginaw, Michigan
(Nexteer Automotive-Saginaw). Workers of Nexteer Automotive-
Saginaw are engaged in activities related to the production of
automotive component parts.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, and other
sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Nexteer Automotive-
Saginaw 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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article(s)
produced by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Nexteer Automotive-Saginaw.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nexteer Automotive-
Saginaw 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 Nexteer Automotive, North America
Division, including on-site leased workers from Arco
Staffing Corporation, Advantage Technical, Aerotek Inc.,
Fast Switch Great Lake LLC, GlobalEdge Technologies, PI
Square Technologies LLC, and Prince Technology LLC,
Saginaw, Michigan, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 17, 2018,
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 2nd day of November 2020.
