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 18, 2003, in
response to a petition filed by the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Local 200, on behalf of workers of SPX Dock Products,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The workers produce dock loading equipment.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm is shifting
all production to Mexico while separating workers from employment
during the relevant period.


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 SPX Dock Products, Milwaukee, Wisconsin who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 3, 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 31st day of December 2003
