PARKER HANNIFIN CORPORATION
COMPOSITE SEALING SYSTEMS DIVISION
TEMPE, ARIZONA
Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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 December 10, 2003 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Parker
Hannifin Corporation, Composite Sealing Systems (C.S.S.) Division,
Tempe, Arizona. The workers produced engineered seals, O-rings and
composite sealing systems.
The investigation revealed the company shifted production
from the Tempe facility to a country under a free trade agreement
with the United States. A significant layoff of workers occurred
in conjunction with this shift in production.
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 Parker Hannifin Corporation, Composite Sealing
Systems (C.S.S.) Division, Tempe, Arizona who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after December 8,
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 30th day of December 2003
