Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on November 26, 2002 and filed on behalf of workers at
Temco Fireplace Products, Manchester, Tennessee. The workers
produce fireplaces and fireplace accessories and are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in plant production of fireplaces and
fireplace accessories to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a
free trade agreement with the United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the worker's firm or subdivision 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:
"All workers of Temco Fireplace Products, Manchester,
Tennessee engaged in the production of fireplaces and
fireplace accessories who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 21, 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, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 8th day of January, 2003.
