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 15, 2002, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Johnson
Controls Inc., Controls Group, Kennesaw, Georgia. The workers
produced digital controllers, control boards and related
accessories for the refrigeration control industry.
The investigation revealed that plant layoffs are related to
the company shifting a meaningful portion of production from the
subject plant to a country (Mexico) under 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 Johnson Controls Inc., Controls Group,
Kennesaw, Georgia who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 3, 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 January, 2003
