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 a company official on
behalf of workers at Pass and Seymour/Legrand, Greensboro
Manufacturing Plant, Whitsett, North Carolina. Workers produce
electrical wiring devices. The subject company uses temporary
workers provided by Manpower, Burlington, North Carolina.
The investigation revealed that the subject company shifted
production 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 Pass and Seymour/Legrand, Greensboro
Manufacturing Plant, Whitsett, North Carolina and Manpower,
Burlington, North Carolina who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 2, 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
