BARRINGTON, NEW JERSEY
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 March 3, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a State agency representative on behalf of
workers at Crescent Lighting (Genlyte-Thomas), Supply Division,
Barrington, New Jersey. The workers at the subject facility
produced lighting and lighting fixtures; they are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in production of lighting and
lighting fixtures 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 was a shift in production from
the workers' firm or subdivision to Canada 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 Crescent Lighting (Genlyte-Thomas), Supply
Division, Barrington, New Jersey, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 28,
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 11th day of April, 2003.
