DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Allied Signal Inc., Truck Brake Systems Co., Charlotte, North
Carolina, Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA-
Transitional Adjustment Assistance
Pursuant to Title V of the North American Free Trade Agreement
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103-182) concerning transitional adjustment
assistance, hereinafter called NAFTA-TAA and in accordance with section
250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2331), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility to
apply for NAFTA-TAA.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for NAFTA-TAA, the group
eligibility requirements in either paragraph (a)(1)(A) or (a)(1)(B) of
Section 250 of the Trade Act must be met. It is determined in this case
that the requirements of (a)(1)(B) of Section 250 have been met--a
shift in production from the workers' firm to Mexico or Canada of
articles like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject firm.
The investigation was initiated on January 21, 1997 in response to
a petition filed by International Union of United Automobile, Aerospace
and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), Local 2081, on
behalf of workers at Allied Signal Inc., Truck Brake Systems Company,
Charlotte, North Carolina. Workers are engaged in the production of
truck brake products.
Investigation findings revealed that a shift in production of truck
brake products to Acuna, Mexico has occurred and is continuing.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, 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
Trade Act, I make the following certification:
All workers at Allied Signal, Truck Brake Systems Company,
Charlotte, North Carolina who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 21, 1996 are eligible to apply
for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 28th day of February, 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
