BASLER ELECTRIC COMPANY
CORNING, ARKANSAS
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 20, 2002, and filed by a state representative
on behalf of workers at Basler Electric Company, Corning, Arkansas.
The workers produce electrical transformers.
The investigation revealed that the declines in employment at
the subject plant are related to a shift in a meaningful portion of
production of electrical transformers 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 Basler Electric Company, Corning,
Arkansas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 18, 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 23rd day of December 2002.
