CORNING, ARKANSAS
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 July 14, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by an authorized state
representative on behalf of workers at L.A. Darling, Metal
Division, Corning, Arkansas. The workers produce metal store
fixtures.
The investigation revealed decreased subject company sales,
production and employment and increased subject company imports
during the relevant time 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 metal store fixtures produced
at L.A. Darling Company, Metal Division, Corning, Arkansas
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 L.A. Darling Company, Metal Division,
Corning, Arkansas who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 14, 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."
