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 May 6, 2003, in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at Dana
Corporation, Pelahatchie, Mississippi. Workers at the subject
facility produced air conditioning sub-assemblies and hose
assemblies.
The investigation revealed that the subject facility leased
some of its production workers from Staff-Co Temporary, Jackson,
Mississippi and Manpower Temporary, Forest, Mississippi.
The declines in employment at the subject facility are related
to a shift in production of air conditioning sub-assemblies 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 Dana Corporation, Pelahatchie, Mississippi,
and leased workers of Staff-Co Temporary, and Manpower
Temporary producing air conditioning sub-assemblies and hose
assemblies at Dana Corporation, Pelahatchie, Mississippi, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 6, 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."
