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 June 12, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
DURA Automotive Systems, G.P., a division of North American Body
and Glass, a part of DURA Automotive Systems, Inc., Fulton,
Kentucky. The workers at the subject facility produce encapsulated
automotive glass, including polyvinyl chloride, slide glass windows
and rear lift gate assemblies; they are not separately identifiable
by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in facility production of
encapsulated automotive glass, including polyvinyl chloride, slide
glass windows and rear lift gate assemblies to a country (Mexico)
that is a party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
The investigation revealed that DURA Automotive Systems, G.P.,
a division of North American Body and Glass, a part of DURA
Automotive Systems, Inc., Fulton, Kentucky leases production
workers from Job World Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico 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 DURA Automotive Systems, G.P., a division of
North American Body and Glass, a part of DURA Automotive
Systems, Inc., Fulton, Kentucky, and leased workers of Job
World, Inc., producing encapsulated automotive glass,
including polyvinyl chloride, slide glass windows and rear
lift gate assemblies at DURA Automotive Systems, G.P., a
division of North American Body and Glass, a part of DURA
Automotive Systems, Inc., Fulton, Kentucky, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 4,
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 30th day of June, 2003
