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 March 21, 2003 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Multilayer Technology,
Inc., d/b/a Multek, a subsidiary of Flextronics International,
Inc., Irvine, California. The workers at the subject firm produced
printed circuit boards (PCBs).
The investigation revealed that employment decreased
absolutely from 2001 to 2002.
Furthermore, the subject facility shifted a portion of
production of PCBs 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 determine 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 Multilayer Technology, Inc., d/b/a Multek, a
subsidiary of Flextronics International, Inc., Irvine,
California who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 13, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 5th day of May, 2003.
