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 in response to a petition
received on February 10, 2003, and filed by the company on behalf
of workers at Formtech Enterprises, Inc., Quick Plastics Division,
Jackson, Michigan. The workers produce custom plastic extruded
parts.
The investigation revealed that the declines in employment are
related to increased imports by customers of the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with custom plastic extruded parts
produced at Formtech Enterprises, Inc., Quick Plastics Division,
Jackson, Michigan, contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production and
at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Formtech Enterprises, Inc., Quick Plastics
Division, Jackson, Michigan (including leased workers of Kelly
Services, Inc., Jackson, Michigan), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 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 24th day of March 2003.
