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 on April 29, 2003 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Ridgeway
Clocks, Ridgeway, Virginia. The workers at the subject firm
produced clocks.
Sales, production and employment declined during the
relevant period.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the
subject firm's major customers regarding their purchases of
clocks during 2001, 2002 and January through March 2003. The
survey revealed that the subject firm's major customer increased
their reliance on imported clocks during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with clocks produced at Ridgeway
Clocks, Ridgeway, Virginia 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 Ridgeway Clocks, Ridgeway, Virginia who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 28, 2002 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 17th day of June, 2003.
