Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an 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)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on May 14, 2003 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Selkirk LLC, Selkirk
Metalbestos Division, Logan, Ohio. Workers produce gas vent and
chimney accessories and are not separately identifiable by
product line.
The investigation revealed employment declines at the
subject company during the relevant time periods and a shift of
production to Canada.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to Canada of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Selkirk LLC, Selkirk Metalbestos Division,
Logan, Ohio who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 12, 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 27th day of May 2003
