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 September 25, 2003, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Glaxo Smith Kline Pharmaceuticals, Piscataway, New
Jersey. The workers produce penicillin.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm has shifted
production to Singapore and will continue to increase their
reliance on imported penicillin as production and employment levels
at Piscataway, New Jersey manifest further declines.

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 Singapore of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Glaxo Smith Kline Pharmaceuticals, Piscataway,
New Jersey who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 18, 2003 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 6th day of November 2003.
