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 March 21, 2003 in response to a
petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at OSRAM
SYLVANIA Products, Inc., Bangor, Maine. The workers produce welded
lead-wires.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in plant production of welded lead-wires 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 welded lead-wires produced by the subject firm.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of OSRAM SYLVANIA Products, Inc., Bangor, Maine, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 20, 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 2nd day of April, 2003.
