Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on October 21, 2002 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Uniek, Inc., Wood Division, Greenwood,
Mississippi. The workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of wood picture frames and mirrors.
Investigative findings revealed that production and employment
declined at the subject firm during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased its imports of wood picture frames and mirrors during the
relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Uniek, Inc.,
Wood Division, Greenwood, Mississippi contributed importantly to
the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Uniek, Inc., Wood Division, Greenwood,
Mississippi who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 30, 2001 through two years
from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."
