VALEO ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, INC.
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK
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 on November 13, 2002, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Valeo
Electrical Systems, Inc., Rochester, New York. The workers produce
automotive components.
The investigation revealed that a shift in production from the
subject facility to a country (Mexico) under a free trade agreement
with the United States occurred during the period of investigation.
Layoffs occurred as a result of this shift in production.
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 Valeo Electrical Systems, Inc., Rochester, New
York who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 6, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of January, 2003.
