Whether a significant number of workers in the workers’ firm are 50 years of age or older. 2. Whether the workers in the workers’ firm possess skills that are not easily transferable. 3. The competitive conditions within the workers’ industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse). The Department has determined that with respect to workers producing switches and connectors, criterion 2 has not been met. The workers’ possess skills that are easily transferable to new positions. Conclusion After careful review, I determine that all workers of Cequent Electrical Products, Light Assemblies Product Line, Albion, Indiana (TA–W–57,567) are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974. Furthermore, after careful review, I determine that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with those produced by the Breakaway Switches Product Line contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production and at that firm or subdivision. I also determine that there was a shift in production from the Cable Connectors Product Line to Mexico of articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: hsrobinson on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES All workers of Cequent Electrical Products, Breakaway Switches Product Line, Albion, Indiana (TA–W–57,567A), and Cequent Electrical Products, Cable Connectors Product Line Albion, Indiana (TA–W– 57,567B), who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 15, 2004 through two years from the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
