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 23, 2003, in re-
sponse to a petition filed by the United Food & Commercial Workers
International Union on behalf of workers of Woodstock Lamp & Shade,
a Division of Woodstock Wire Works, Inc., Woodstock, Illinois. The
workers produce lampshades.
The investigation revealed that a shift in production from the
subject facility to a country (Mexico) under a free trade agreement
with the United States occurred during the period of investigation.
Layoffs occurred as a result of this shift in production.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers' 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 Woodstock Lamp & Shade, Woodstock, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after January 9, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 21st day of April 2003
