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 April 9, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a state representative on behalf of workers
at Finegood Moldings, Inc., dba Good Companies, Laminating
Department, Carson, California. The worker group at the subject
facility laminated printed paper onto particle board used in the
production of furniture.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in facility production of laminating
printed paper onto particle board to a country (Mexico) 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
Finegood Moldings, Inc., dba Good Companies, Laminating Department,
Carson, California to Mexico of articles like or directly
competitive with the laminating printed paper onto particle board
produced by the subject firm.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"Workers of Finegood Moldings, Inc., dba Good Companies,
Laminating Department, Carson, California who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April 1,
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 21st day of April, 2003
