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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met - the sales and/or production have
decreased absolutely at the workers firm or subdivision and an
increase in imports of articles like or directly competitive with
articles produced by the workers' firm or subdivision contributed
importantly to workers' separation or threat of separation and to
the decline in the sales or production of the subject firm or
subdivision.
The investigation was initiated on January 8, 2003 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Cincinnati Machine, a
division of UNOVA, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio. The workers at the
subject firm produce metal cutting machine tools and are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed sales, production, and employment
declined absolutely during 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the subject firm
did not import metal cutting machine tools during the relevant
period.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
declining customers regarding their purchases of metal cutting
machine tools. These surveys revealed increased imports of metal
cutting machine tools 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 metal cutting machine tools
produced at Cincinnati Machine, a division of UNOVA, Inc.,
Cincinnati, Ohio contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production and
at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Cincinnati Machine, a division of UNOVA, Inc.,
Cincinnati, Ohio who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 7, 2002 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 19th day of March, 2003.
