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 March 2, 2004 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
G.S.W. Manufacturing, Inc., Findlay, Ohio. The workers at the
subject firm produce automotive wiring harnesses; they are not
separately identifiable.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined in 2003 in comparison with 2002.
Furthermore, the subject firm shifted production of automotive
wire harnesses to a country (Mexico) that is party to a free trade
agreement with the United States during the relevant period.
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 G.S.W. Manufacturing, Inc., Findlay, Ohio who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 1, 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 8th day of March 2004.
