ANDREW CORPORATION
ADDISON, ILLINOIS
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 7, 2002, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Andrew Corporation, Addison, Illinois. The
workers produce automotive coax cables assemblies and glass
mount antennas for automobiles.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at
the subject firm are related to a shift in production of
automotive coax cables assemblies and glass mount antennas for
automobiles 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, Addison, Illinois
(including temporary workers supplied by Spherion, Addison,
Illinois), 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 assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 16th day of December 2002.
