Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its 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 in response to a petition
received on March 1, 2004 and filed by company officials on
behalf of workers at Inter Metro Industries Corporation,
Cucamonga, California. The workers were engaged in employment
related to the production of wire shelving.
The subject firm has experienced declines in employment at
the subject plant and is shifting production of wire shelving to
Mexico.
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 Inter Metro Industries Corporation,
Cucamonga, California, and leased workers of Select
Personnel working at Inter Metro Industries Corporation,
Cucamonga, California who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 27, 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.
