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 December 2, 2002, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Technicolor Virginia, Ruckersville, Virginia (TA-W-
50,226) and Technicolor Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia (TA-W-
50,226A). The workers produce digital video discs (DVD's) and are
not separately identifiable.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at both
facilities is related to a shift in plant production of digital
video discs 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 worker's 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 Technicolor Virginia, Ruckersville, Virginia
(TA-W-50,226) and Technicolor Virginia, Charlottesville,
Virginia (TA-W-50,226A) who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 21, 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.
