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 (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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 5, 2005 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Motion Control
Engineering, Inc., New York City Branch Office, formerly Schindler
Elevator Corporation, dba O'Thompson Company, Glendale, New York.
The workers at the subject firm produced electronic elevator parts.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm decreased during the period of
January through September of 2005 over the corresponding period in
2004.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
declining customers regarding their purchases of electronic
elevator parts. The survey revealed increased customer imports of
electronic elevator parts during the period of January through
September 2005 over the corresponding 2004 period.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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 determine that an increase in imports of articles
like or directly competitive with electronic elevator parts
produced at the subject firm contributed importantly to the total
or partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales or
production at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of General Cable, a subsidiary of Motion Control
Engineering, Inc., New York City Branch Office, formerly
Schindler Elevator Corporation, dba O'Thompson Company,
Glendale, New York, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 5, 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 30th day of November 2005.
