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 25, 2004 in response
to a petition filed by a state workforce representative on behalf
of workers at Masterwork Electronics, Inc., Fresno Division,
Fresno, California. The workers at the subject firm produced
wiring harnesses.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject facility
shifted production of wiring harnesses 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 Masterwork Electronics, Inc., Fresno Division,
Fresno, California who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 24, 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 20th ay of April 2004.
