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 9, 2002 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Heico-Ohmite, LLC, Skokie, Illinois. Workers at the
subject firm produce lugs, rheostats, tap switches, relays,
variable transformers, chokes, axials, ohm rangers, open air
resistors, and vertical centohms; they are separately identifiable
by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in production of lugs, rheostats, tap
switches, relays, variable transformers, chokes, axials, ohm
rangers, open air resistors, and vertical centohms 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 Heico-Ohmite, LLC, Skokie, Illinois who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 3, 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
