INCLUDING ON-SITE WORKERS OF FUTURE FORCE RECEIVING WAGES PAID BY

MIAMI LAKES, FLORIDA
Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on May 5, 2006,
applicable to workers of Coleman Cable, Inc., Automotive
Division, including on-site leased workers of Future Force, Miami
Lakes, Florida. The notice was published in the Federal Register
on May 17, 2006 (71 FR 28709).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of automotive cables and extension
cords.
Information provided by a company official shows that Crum
and Foster was contracted by the leasing firm, Future Force, to
provide payroll function services to workers employed on-site at
the Miami Lakes, Florida location of Coleman Cable, Inc.,
Automotive Division.
Information also shows that all on-site leased workers of
Future Force separated from employment at the subject firm had
their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI)
tax account for Crum and Foster.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers whose wages were reported
by Crum and Foster working on-site at Coleman Cable, Inc.,
Automotive Division, Miami Lakes, Florida.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Coleman Cable, Inc., Automotive Division who was
adversely affected by increased company imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,240 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Coleman Cable, Inc., Automotive
Division, including on-site leased workers of Future
Force, and on-site Future Force workers who’s wages
were reported by Crum and Foster, Miami Lakes, Florida,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 18, 2005, through May 5,
2008, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 26th day of July 2006.

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 April 19, 2006 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Coleman Cable, Inc., Automotive Division, Miami Lakes, Florida.
The workers produce automotive cables and extension cords.
The subject firm leased on-site workers from Future Force
during the period of investigation.
The investigation revealed that employment and production
declined in January through March 2006 compared with January
through March 2005.
The subject firm has shifted a portion of their production of
automotive cables and extension cords abroad. Increased company
imports have contributed to separations at the firm.
In accordance with Section 246 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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with Automotive cables and extension
cords produced at Coleman Cable, Inc., Automotive Division, Miami
Lakes, Florida 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 Coleman Cable, Inc., Automotive Division,
Miami Lakes, Florida, including on-site leased workers of
Future Force, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 18, 2005 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.”
