INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF

PLANTATION, FLORIDA

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on July 23,
2001, applicable to workers of Motorola, Inc., iDEN Subscriber
Div., Plantation, Florida. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on August 15, 2001 (66 FR 42880).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
provided by the company shows that leased workers of Manpower
International were employed at Motorola, Inc., iDEN Subscriber
Div. to produce radios and printed circuit boards (for iDEN Radio
units) at the Plantation, Florida location of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of Manpower
International, employed at Motorola, Inc., iDEN Subscriber Div.
Corporation, Plantation, Florida.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Motorola, Inc., iDEN Subscriber Div. who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-39,588 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Motorola, Inc., iDEN Subscriber Div.,
Plantation, Florida, including leased workers of
Manpower International, who were engaged in production
of radios and printed circuit boards (for iDEN Radio
units) at Motorola, Inc., iDEN Subscriber Div.,
Plantation, Florida, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 27, 2000,
through July 23, 2003, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 14th day of May 2003.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) as
amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the
Department of Labor herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligi-bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a certification of eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance each of the group eligibility requirements of Section
222 of the Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the requirements
have been met.
The investigation was initiated on July 9, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at
Motorola, Inc., iDen Subscriber Division, Plantation, Florida. The workers were
engaged in the production of radios and printed circuit boards (for iDEN
Radio units). The workers are not separately identifiable.
Investigation findings revealed that the preponderance in
the declines in employment at the subject plant is related to a
shift in plant production of circuit boards to a foreign source.
The company is currently increasing their imports of circuit
boards from that foreign source.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-gation, I conclude that
increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with circuit boards produced
at Motorola, Inc., iDen Subscriber Division, Plantation, Florida, contributed importantly
to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers of
the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Motorola, Inc., iDen Subscriber Division, Plantation, Florida who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 27, 2000,
through two years from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 23rd day of July, 2001.
