MOTOROLA, INC.
SUPPLY CHAIN DIVISION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF MANPOWER
SCHAUMBURG, ILLINOIS

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 October 17, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Motorola, Inc., Supply Chain Division, Schaumburg,
Illinois. The workers produce government and public safety
telecommunication equipment (i.e. 2-way radios and wireless
infrastructure equipment).
Workers of Motorola, Inc., Supply Chain Division,
Schaumburg, Illinois, are certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under petition number TA-W-58,169, which
expires December 9, 2007.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
firm decreased in January through October 2007 when compared to
the same period of the previous year. There is evidence that
more worker separations will occur after the December 9, 2007
expiration of the existing certification.
The investigation determined that there was a shift in
production of the government and public safety telecommunication
equipment (i.e. 2-way radios and wireless infrastructure
equipment) to a country (Mexico) that is party to a free trade
agreement with the United States.
The investigation revealed that Motorola, Inc., Supply
Chain Division, Schaumburg, Illinois also leased workers from
Manpower.
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 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 government and public
safety telecommunication equipment (i.e. 2-way radios and
wireless infrastructure equipment) produced by the subject firm
or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:


"All workers of Motorola, Inc., Supply Chain Division,
Schaumburg, Illinois, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, who become totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 10, 2007 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 1st day of November 2007
