DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[NAFTA-00120]


Walker Manufacturing Company, Hebron, Ohio; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    Pursuant to a voluntary remand in UAW Local 1927 and Employees and 
Former Employees of Walker Manufacturing Co. v. Secretary of Labor, No. 
94-10-00584 (Ct. Int'l Trade), the Department is revising its initial 
denial of certification of eligibility to workers of Walker 
Manufacturing Company, located in Hebron, Ohio, to apply for NAFTA-
Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA).
    As a result of further consideration in this case, the Department 
has determined that the shift in production to Mexico of articles like 
or directly competitive with products manufactured at the subject firm 
contributed importantly to worker separations.
    Other findings show that the workers at Hebron were used 
interchangeably and are not separately identifiable by product. 
Accordingly, since the worker separations resulting from the shift in 
production to Mexico indirectly affected all lines of production, the 
Department is recommending that all of the workers of the Hebron, Ohio 
plant Walker Manufacturing Company be certified as eligible to apply 
for NAFTA-TAA.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I 
conclude that there was a shift in production of 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 of Walker Manufacturing Company, Hebron, Ohio, who 
became totally 

[[Page 2542]]
or partially separated from employment on or after May 20, 1993 are 
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of December 1995.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
