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 April 22, 2004 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of
International Wire Group Inc, Insulated Wire Division, PVC
Department, El Paso, Texas. The workers at the subject firm
produce PVC coated battery cables and single conductors.
The decline in employment at the subject firm is related to
the shift in production of the process of coating battery cables
and single conductors to a country (Mexico) that is a 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 has been 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 International Wire Group Inc, Insulated
Wire Division, PVC Department, El Paso, Texas who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
April 15, 2003 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
