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 December 11, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Interlink Technologies, d/b/a Homaco, Inc., Chicago, Illinois. The
workers at the subject firm produce cabling systems structures.
Workers are not separately identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in production of cabling systems structures
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 determine 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 Interlink Technologies, d/b/a Homaco, Inc.,
Chicago, Illinois who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 9, 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 16th day of January, 2004.
