Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
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 10, 2005 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers
of KeyTronicEMS, Las Cruces Division, Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Workers at the subject facility produce mylar membranes (flex
circuits).
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
firm declined during the relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that the subject firm
shifted production of mylar membranes (flex circuits) 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 determine that there has been 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 KeyTronicEMS, Las Cruces Division, Las
Cruces, New Mexico, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 8, 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.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 18th day of July 2005.
