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 25, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Chromalox, Inc., formerly known as Wiegand Industrial, a division
of J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC, Ogden, Utah. The workers at the
subject facility produce small flange and tubular electrical heater
components.
The preponderance of declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in production of small flange and
tubular electrical heater components 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 Chromalox, Inc., formerly known as Wiegand
Industrial, a division of J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC, Ogden,
Utah who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after July 23, 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 4th day of September 2003.
