RUSTLER FISH COMPANY
HAINES, ALASKA

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.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on April 30, 2003 and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Rustler Fish Company, Haines, Alaska. The workers
produce fresh salmon.
The investigation revealed that Rustler Fish Company, Haines,
Alaska, was an upstream supplier of fresh salmon. The subject firm
lost at least 20 percent of its business with a processor of
salmon, whose workers were certified eligible to apply for trade
adjustment assistance based on increased imports of processed
salmon.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rustler Fish Company,
Haines, Alaska 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 Rustler Fish Company, Haines, Alaska who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 29, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 5th day of May 2003.
