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 February 10, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Henlopen Manufacturing Company, Inc., Techpack
International Division of Pechiney, Watertown, Connecticut. The
workers produce cosmetics.
The investigation revealed that a substantial portion of
production is shifting to Mexico, beginning in February 2003.
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 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 Henlopen Manufacturing Company, Inc.,
Techpack International Division of Pechiney, Watertown,
Connecticut, and including contract workers of Jaci Carroll
Staffing employed at the Watertown, Connecticut, facility who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 30, 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.
