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 20, 2004 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at SCI Technology, Inc., Enclosure Division, a subsidiary
of Sanmina-SCI, Richmond, Kentucky. The workers at the subject
facility produced fabricated and stamped metal parts for the
telecommunications industry.
Employment at the subject facility has declined and a shutdown
is anticipated. The subject firm is shifting production of
fabricated and stamped metal parts 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 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 SCI Technology, Inc., Enclosure Division, a
subsidiary of Sanmina-SCI, Richmond, Kentucky who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 19, 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 5th day of March 2004.
