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 March 10, 2003 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Celestica Corporation, Fort Collins,
Colorado. The workers were engaged in employment related to the
production of printed circuit boards assemblies.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject plant is related to a shift in plant production of
printed circuit board assemblies and administrative support to
countries (Mexico and Canada) that are parties to a free trade
agreement with the United States.
The investigation revealed that Celestica Corporation
Manufacturing Corporation leased workers from Adecco, Fort
Collins, Colorado to produce printed circuit board assemblies.
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 and Canada 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 Celestica Corporation, Fort Collins,
Colorado and leased workers of Adecco, also located in Fort
Collins, Colorado, producing printed circuit boards at
Celestica Corporation, Fort Collins, Colorado who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 7, 2002 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."

Signed in Washington, D.C. this 8th day of April 2003.
