Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either
paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on November 6, 2002, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Andrew Corporation, Burlington, Iowa. The
workers produce speed spectrum antennas and 802.11 antennas for
the telecommunications industry.
The investigation revealed that the declines in employment
at the subject firm are related to a shift in production of
speed spectrum antennas and 802.11 antennas to a country
(Mexico) that is a party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of the Andrew Company, Burlington, Iowa, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 4, 2001, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 13th day of December 2002.
