COMPONENT CONCEPTS, INC.
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 May 6, 2003 in response to a petition filed by a
company official on behalf of workers of Component Concepts, Inc.,
Thomasville, North Carolina. The workers produce furniture
components.
The investigation revealed that Component Concepts, Inc.,
Thomasville, North Carolina supplies component parts for
furniture, and a loss of business with this manufacturer
contributed importantly to the workers separation or threat of
separation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Component Concepts,
Inc., 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 Component Concepts, Inc., Thomasville, North
Carolina who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 6, 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."
