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 November 9, 2004 in
response to a petition filed by a state workforce agent on behalf
of workers at Square D Company, Standard Products Division,
Lincoln, Nebraska. The workers at the subject firm produce
miniature circuit breakers.
The declines in employment at the subject facility are related
to a shift in production of miniature circuit breakers 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 Square D Company, Standard Products Division,
Lincoln, Nebraska who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 5, 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 18th day of November, 2004.
