O. MUSTAD AND SON, INC.
AUBURN, NEW YORK
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 on January 22, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by on behalf of workers of O. Mustad
and Son, Inc., Auburn, New York. The workers produce packaged fish
hooks.
The investigation revealed that the production packaged fish
hooks at the subject facility is being shifted to the Dominican
Republic leading to separations at the subject facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers= firm or subdivision to the Dominican Republic 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 O. Mustad and Son, Inc., Auburn, New
York, engaged in the production of packaged fish hooks, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 6, 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 5th day of February 2003.
