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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 7, 2008 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Tyco Electronics - MID, Communications, Computer, and Consumer
Electronics (CCCE) Division, Rochester, New York. Workers at the
subject firm produce molded plastic interconnect devices/antennas.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services and Adecco, Inc.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in production of molded plastic
interconnect devices/antennas to China. The investigation also
determined that an increase in imports of molded plastic
interconnect devices/antennas is likely.
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 there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm to China of articles that are like or
directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an increase in
imports of like or directly competitive articles. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Tyco Electronics - MID, Communications,
Computer, and Consumer Electronics (CCCE) Division, including
on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and Adecco, Inc.,
Rochester, New York, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 28, 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 20th day of May, 2008
