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 21, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of The Chamberlain Group, Commercial Products Division,
Lake Forest, California. The workers produce automatic gate
openers for residential gated communities and various gated
facilities.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject firm is related to a shift in production of automatic
gate operators from the subject firm to a country (Mexico) that
is 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 to Mexico of articles that are like or
directly competitive with automatic gate openers produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"Workers of The Chamberlain Group, Commercial Products
Division, Lake Forest, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 18,
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."
