In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), as amended, and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June 22, 2012, applicable to workers and former workers of TE Connectivity, Industrial Division, Middletown, Pennsylvania (TA-W-81,557). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production of electrical connectors.
At the request of the subject firm, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
New information provided by the subject firm revealed that the Middletown, Pennsylvania facility is supported by workers in the subject firm's auxiliary facilities located at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Shakopee, Minnesota, Eatontown, New Jersey, and Berwyn, Pennsylvania.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers at the subject firm who are adversely affected by the subject firm's shift of production to a foreign country.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers at these auxiliary facilities.
