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 February 14, 2003 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
ArvinMeritor, Gordonsville, Tennessee. The workers produce window
regulators, window regulator motors and sunroofs.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in plant production of window regulators
and window regulator motors 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 were layoffs and a shift in production from the
subject firm to Mexico of articles that are like or directly
competitive with the window regulators, window regulator motors and
sunroofs produced by the subject firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of ArvinMeritor, Gordonsville, Tennessee and leased
workers of Randstad Staffing, Gordonsville, Tennessee, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after March
11, 2002 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 24th day of March 2003.
