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 investigation was initiated on January 15, 2003, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Datex-Ohmeda,
Louisville, Colorado. The workers produce pulse oximeters.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm increased
their reliance on imported pulse oximeters while reducing
employment and production levels at Louisville.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was an increase in the
importation of articles 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 Datex-Ohmeda, Louisville, Colorado who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 14, 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 21st day of February, 2003.
