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 March 25, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at
London Harness & Cable, Trenton, New Jersey. The workers are
engaged in the production of wire harnesses and battery cables.
Findings of the investigation revealed that sales and
employment at the subject plant declined in the relevant time
period.





The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the
subject firm's major customers regarding their purchases of wire
harnesses and battery cables. The survey revealed the customers
are increasing their purchases of imported wire harnesses and
battery cables from abroad.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with wire harnesses and battery cables
produced by London Harness & Cable, Trenton, New Jersey,
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 London Harness & Cable, Trenton, New Jersey,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after January 13, 2001, 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 21st day of June, 2002.
