DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[NAFTA--00633]
General Electric Company, GE Transportation Systems--Erie, Erie,
Pennsylvania; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration
On November 21, 1995, the Department issued a Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to all workers of General Electric
Company, GE Transportation Systems located in Erie, Pennsylvania. The
denial notice was published in the Federal Register on December 1, 1995
(60 FR 61711).
The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination
because criteria (3) and (4) of the Eligibility Requirements of Section
250 of the Trade Act, as amended, were not met for workers at the
subject firm. There was no shift in production from General Electric
Company of locomotives or locomotive parts from Mexico or Canada, nor
did the subject firm import these products from Mexico or Canada.
Based on new information received from counsel for the petitioners,
the department, on its own motion, reviewed the findings of the
investigation. The petitioning workers were engaged in the production
of locomotives and locomotive parts. New findings show that beginning
in July 1995, the production of motor coils was shifted from the
subject firm's Erie, Pennsylvania production facility to Mexico.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reopening,
I conclude that there was a shift in production from the workers' firm
to Mexico of articles that are like or directly competitive with those
produced by the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following revised determination:
``All workers of General Electric Company, GE Transportation
Systems, Erie, Pennsylvania, engaged in the production of motor
coils who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after October 2, 1994, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of October 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
