ONTARIO DIE INTERNATIONAL OF TENNESSEE
LEBANON, TENNESSEE
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 25, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Ontario Die International of Tennessee, Lebanon,
Tennessee. The workers at the subject facility produced cutting
dies.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in a meaningful portion of plant
production of cutting dies to countries (Canada and Mexico) that
are parties to a free trade agreement with the United States.
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 Canada and 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 Ontario Die International of Tennessee,
Lebanon, Tennessee who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 11, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 31st day of March, 2003.
