Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 28, 2002 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Unison Industries, A Subsidiary of General Electric,
Fort Worth, Texas. The workers produce electrical wire harness
assemblies for aircraft.
A petition for the NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance
has been filed on behalf of workers at the subject plant (NAFTA -
07611).


The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased during the period under investigation.
The investigation further revealed that company imports in-
creased during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like
or directly competitive with electrical wire harness assemblies
for aircraft at Unison Industries, A Subsidiary of General
Electric, Fort Worth, Texas, contributed importantly to the
decline in sales or and to the total or partial separation of
workers of that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Unison Industries, A Subsidiary of General
Electric, Fort Worth, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 8, 2001,
through two years from the date of certification are eligi-
ble to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 8th day of November 2002.
