C & W FABRICATORS
WHEELABRATOR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL, INC.
GARDNER, MASSACHUSETTS

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 15,
2002, applicable to workers of C & W Fabricators, Gardner,
Massachusetts. The notice was published in the Federal Register
on July 29, 2002 (67 FR 49038).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of inlet and exhaust systems for
gas turbines.
New information provided by a company official shows that
some of the workers separated from employment at C & W
Fabricators had their wages reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Wheelabrator Air
Pollution Control, Inc.


Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of C and W Fabricators, Gardner, Massachusetts, who
were adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,336 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of C & W Fabricators, Inc., Wheelabrator
Air Pollution Control, Inc., Gardner, Massachusetts,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 4, 2001, through July 15,
2004, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 15th day of September 2004.

C & W FABRICATORS
GARDNER, MASSACHUSETTS

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 in response to a petition
received on April 15, 2002 and filed on behalf of workers at C & W
Fabricators, Inc., Gardner, Massachusetts. The workers produced
inlet and exhaust systems for gas turbines.
The investigation revealed the company transferred all of the
production from the subject facility to a foreign facility from
1998 to June 2002. Company imports increased in FY 2001 compared to
FY 2000.
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 inlet and exhaust systems for gas
turbines produced at C & W Fabricators, Inc., Gardner,
Massachusetts 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 C & W Fabricators, Inc., Gardner,
Massachusetts who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 4, 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."
