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 May 19, 2005 in response to a
petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Wiremold/Legrand, Brooks Electronics Division, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. The workers were engaged in the production of surge
protectors, power strips and pre-wired electrical raceway.
The investigation revealed that Wiremold/Legrand, Brooks
Electronics Division, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania also leased
workers from CoreStaff, MorStaffing, Supreme Staffing, Growth
Management Strategies, CPC Logistics, Inc., Jani-King of
Philadelphia, Inc. and Allied Security to produce surge protectors,
power strips and pre-wired electrical raceway on-site at
Wiremold/Legrand, Brooks Electronics Division, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
Employment at the subject plant has declined, and the subject
firm has shifted production of surge protectors, power strips and
pre-wired electrical raceway to a country (Mexico) that is a party
to a Free Trade Agreement with the United States.
In addition, 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 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 at Wiremold/Legrand, Brooks Electronics
Division, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, including on-site leased
workers of CoreStaff, MorStaffing, Supreme Staffing, Growth
Management Strategies, CPC Logistics, Inc., Jani-King of
Philadelphia, Inc. and Allied Security, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 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, 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 21st day of June 2005.
