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 18, 2002, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Medtronic Perfusion Systems, Anaheim Hills, California.
The workers at the subject firm produced medical devices used for
heart bypass.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined absolutely with the shutdown of the facility in June 2002.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the subject firm
shifted production of their medical devices used for heart bypass
from Anaheim Hills, California 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 Medtronic Perfusion Systems, Anaheim Hills,
California who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 15, 2001 through two years from the
date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
