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 February 19, 2003 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Sony
Electronics, Display Systems Service Center, Mt. Pleasant,
Pennsylvania. Workers produce refurbished computer monitors.
The investigation revealed that refurbished computer
monitor production is shifting 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 refurbished computer
monitors produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Sony Electronics, Display Systems Service
Center, Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 3, 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 3rd day of March 2003
