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 January 29, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by the company official on behalf
of workers at Delphax Technologies, Inc., Minnetonka, Minnesota.
The workers at the subject firm produced cut-sheet digital
presses.
The investigation revealed that sales and production at the
subject firm declined from 2001 to 2002.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject plant is related to a shift in plant production of cut-
sheet digital presses to a country (Canada) 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 were layoffs and a shift in
production from the subject firm to Canada of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Delphax Technologies, Inc., Minnetonka,
Minnesota who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 27, 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 27th day of February 2003.
