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
eligibility 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 in response to a petition
received on October 29, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at
Tyco International Ltd., Tyco Electronics Corp., Rock Hill, South
Carolina. Workers at the subject firm produce electronic
connectors.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the company increased
its reliance on imported electronic connectors during the relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with electronic connectors produced by
Tyco International Ltd., Tyco Electronics Corp., Rock Hill, South
Carolina contributed importantly to the decline in sales or
production and to the total or partial separation of workers of
that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Tyco International Ltd., Tyco Electronics
Corp., Rock Hill, South Carolina engaged in employment related
to the production of electronic connectors, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October 3,
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 at Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of April, 2002.
