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 February 3, 2004 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers at Wyeth Nutritional, a division of Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals, Georgia, Vermont. Workers at the subject firm
produce powdered infant formula. Workers are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The subject firm also leased workers from Kelly Services.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift of production of powdered infant formula
to countries (Mexico and Singapore) that are parties 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 and Singapore 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 Wyeth Nutritional, a division of Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals, including leased workers from Kelly Services
Georgia, Vermont, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 2, 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 12th day of March 2004
