ACE'S SANDING SHOP
THOMASVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on in response to a petition
received on April 16, 2003 in response to a petition filed on
behalf of workers of Ace's Sanding Shop, Thomasville, North
Carolina. The workers of the subject firm produced wooden
furniture parts.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm has
experienced layoffs. Ace's Sanding Shop supplies at least 20
percent of its production of wooden furniture parts to a primary
firm, a manufacturer of wooden furniture.
The investigation further revealed that the workers of the
primary firm are certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ace's Sanding Shop,
Thomasville, North Carolina qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Ace's Sanding Shop, Thomasville, North
Carolina who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 14, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 28th day of April, 2003.
