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 June 15, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Motion Control
Technology, Diversified Products, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Dana Corporation, El Paso, Texas. The workers at the subject
facility produced electronic hydraulic power steering pump (EHPS).
The investigation revealed that Motion Control Technology
leased workers from Burnett.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in facility production of electronic
hydraulic power steering pump (EHPS) 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 Motion Control Technology, Diversified
Products, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Dana Corporation,
including leased workers of Burnett, El Paso, Texas who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after May
25, 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 12th day of July, 2004.
