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 in response to a petition
received on April 23, 2003 and filed by the International Union,
United Automobile Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America (UAW) on behalf of workers at ThyssenKrupp Budd Company,
Body Division, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The workers produced
metal stamping products for the automobile industry.
The investigation revealed that subject plant sales,
production and employment declined during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject
firm's major declining customers regarding their purchases of
metal stamping products during 2001, 2002 and January through
March 2003 over the corresponding 2002 period. The survey
revealed that customers increased their reliance on purchases of
imported metal stamping products during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with metal stamping products
produced at ThyssenKrupp Budd Company, Body Division,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania contributed importantly to the total
or partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales or
production and at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of ThyssenKrupp Budd Company, Body Division,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 22, 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 4th day of June, 2003.
