Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its 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 June 27, 2003 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at General Electric Company, Industrial Systems
Division, Mebane, North Carolina. The workers produced motor
control systems (MCC).
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject plant is related to a shift in plant production of motor
control systems 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 of production
from the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles 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 General Electric Company, Industrial Systems
Division, Mebane, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 26,
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 17th day of July, 2003.
