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 July 10, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by Chauffeurs, Teamsters, Warehousemen, Local
Union 135 on behalf of workers at Trelleborg YSH, Inc., a division
of Trelleborg Industries, Inc. a division of Trelleborg AB,
Logansport, Indiana. The workers at the subject facility produce
molded rubber automotive anti-vibration systems; they are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in a portion of production of molded
rubber automotive anti-vibration 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 conclude 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 Trelleborg YSH, Inc., a division of Trelleborg
Industries, Inc. a division of Trelleborg AB, Logansport,
Indiana who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 1, 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 15th day of August, 2003.
