Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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 March 16, 2005 in response to
a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers of Celestica
USA, Inc., Salem-EMS, Salem, New Hampshire. Workers at the subject
firm produce electronic assemblies. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Adecco.
Declines in employment at the subject plant are attributed to
a shift in production of electronic assemblies to Mexico and
Canada, countries that are party to free trade agreements with the
United States. Production also shifted to Thailand.


In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production of
electronic assemblies produced at Celestica USA, Inc., Salem-EMS,
Salem, New Hampshire, to Mexico, Canada and Thailand. There has
been or is likely to be an increase in imports of electronic
assemblies. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:


"All workers of Celestica USA, Inc., Salem-EMS, Salem, New
Hampshire, including on-site leased workers from Adecco, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 14, 2004, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 7th day of April 2005.
