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 November 1, 2002, and filed by Glass, Molders, Pottery,
Plastics and Allied Workers, Local 274 on behalf of workers at
Ferro Corporation, East Liverpool Plant, East Liverpool, Ohio. The
workers produce alumina grinding media.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined absolutely from 2000 to
2001.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major
customers revealed increases in imports of alumina grinding media
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 Ferro
Corporation, East Liverpool Plant, East Liverpool, Ohio 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 Ferro Corporation, East Liverpool Plant, East
Liverpool, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 23, 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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 25th day of November, 2002.
