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 the company on behalf of workers at Dana
Corporation, Hose & Tubing Products Division, Crenshaw,
Mississippi. The workers at the subject facility produce rubber
hoses.
The investigation revealed that Dana Corp. leased production
workers from Manpower to produce rubber hoses.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in facility production of rubber
hoses 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 Dana Corporation, Hose & Tubing Products
Division, Crenshaw, Mississippi, and leased workers of
Manpower producing rubber hoses at Dana Corporation, Hose &
Tubing Products Division, Crenshaw, Mississippi, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 25, 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 22nd day of July, 2003.
