DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-60,370; TA-W-60,370A]
Radio Frequency Systems, Inc. Microwave Antenna Division
Including OnSite Temporary Workers of UTI Meriden, Connecticut and
Cable Assembly Division Including OnSite Temporary Workers of Spherion
Atlantic Workforce LLC, Meriden, CT; Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.
2273), 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 and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance on December 1, 2006, applicable to workers of
Radio Frequency Systems, Inc., Microwave Antenna Division and the Cable
Assembly Division, Meriden, Connecticut. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on December 12, 2006 (71 FR 74564).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers of the
Microwave Antenna Division produce microwave antennas used in cell
phone towers. The workers of the Cable Assembly Division produce cables
and jumpers to connect to the antennas.
Review of the petition file shows that the Department inadvertently
failed to include coverage to the onsite temporary workers at each of
the Division's described above. Workers of UTI were employed onsite at
the Microwave Antenna Division and workers of Spherion Atlantic
Workforce LLC were employed onsite at the Cable Assembly Division.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers at Radio Frequency Systems, Inc., Meriden, Connecticut, who
were adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico. Therefore,
the Department is amending this certification to include temporary
workers from UTI and Spherion Atlantic Workforce LLC working onsite at
the Meriden, Connecticut Microwave Antenna and Cable Assembly Divisions
of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,370 is hereby issued as
follows:
``All workers of Radio Frequency Systems, Inc., Microwave
Antenna Division, including onsite temporary workers of UTI,
Meriden, Connecticut (TA-W-60,370) and Radio Frequency Systems,
Inc., Cable Assembly Division, including onsite temporary workers of
Spherion Atlantic Workforce LLC, Meriden, Connecticut (TA-W-
60,370A), who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 6, 2005, through December 1, 2008, are eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of March 2007.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
