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 April 3, 2003 in response to a
petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at NABCO,
Inc., Reed City Operations, Reed City, Michigan. NABCO, Inc. is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Delco Remy International. The workers
produce remanufactured alternators and starters.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in plant production of remanufactured
alternators and starters 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 remanufactured alternators and starters produced
by the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of NABCO, Inc., Reed City Operations, Reed City,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 2, 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 15th day of April, 2003.
