CONCISE FABRICATORS, INC.
TUCSON, ARIZONA
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 December 6, 2002 and filed by company official on
behalf of workers at Concise Fabricators, Inc., Tucson, Arizona.
The workers produced sheet metal fabrication.
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.
Layoff 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 Concise Fabricators, Inc., Tucson, Arizona who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 29, 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 17th day of December, 2002
