Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results
of its 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)(A) of Section 222 have been
met.
The investigation was initiated on February 11, 2003, in response
to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers at Vishay Dale
Electronics, Inc., Standard Products Department, Norfolk, Nebraska. The
workers produce resistors for non-military use.
The investigation revealed that the subject facility has
experienced declines in sales, production and employment during
the relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that the subject firm has increased
its imports of resistors for non-military use during the relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I
conclude that increases of imports of resistors for non-military use at
Vishay Dale Electronics, Inc., Standard Products Department, Norfolk,
Nebraska, contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Vishay Dale Electronics, Inc. Standard
Products Department, Norfolk, Nebraska, engaged in the
production of resistors for non-military use and who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 7, 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 31st day of March 2003.
