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 18, 2002, and filed by the company on behalf
of workers at Emerson Motor Company, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The
workers produce fractional horsepower electric motors.
The investigation revealed that the declines in employment are
related to the subject firm shifting its production of fractional
horsepower electric motors to Mexico.


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 Emerson Motor Company, Sturgeon Bay,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 12, 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 20th day of December 2002.
