Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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 August 19, 2005 in response
to a petition filed by the Teamsters Local Union No. 293 on behalf
of workers of Demag Cranes & Components Corporation, Cleveland,
Ohio. The workers produce cranes, hoists and related equipment.
The investigation revealed that a shift in production from the
subject firm to Germany occurred during the period of
investigation, and layoffs at the subject plants resulted from this
shift in production. The investigation also revealed that the
subject firm will likely increase its imports of crane components
as a result.
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 Germany of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there will likely be an increase in
imports of such articles. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Demag Cranes & Components Corporation,
Cleveland, Ohio who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 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 in Washington, D.C. this 31st day of August, 2005
