CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

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 on June 28, 2006, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Solectron Corporation,
Design and Engineering, Charlotte, North Carolina. The workers
produce test equipment used in the development of printed circuit
board and electronic storage.
The investigation revealed that the preponderance in the
declines in employment at Solectron Corporation, Design and
Engineering, Charlotte, North Carolina is related to a shift in
production of test equipment to a country (Mexico) that is a party
to a free trade agreement with the United States.
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 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 the test equipment produced by
the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Solectron Corporation, Design and Engineering,
Charlotte, North Carolina who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 7, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 5th day of September 2006
