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 July 15, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Rotarex, Inc., North America, including the divisions
Stopfill, Inc. and Ceodeux, Inc., Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania.
The subject company uses leased workers from Spherion (Ruggieri
Enterprises), Manpower, Carol Harris Agency and Select
Personnel. Workers are engaged in the production of valves and
overfill protection devices.
The investigation revealed that the subject company will
cease production in August 2003 and shift production to Mexico.
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 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 Rotarex, Inc., North America, including the
divisions Stopfill, Inc. and Ceodeux, Inc., Mt. Pleasant,
Pennsylvania and leased workers of Spherion (Ruggieri
Enterprises), Manpower, Carol Harris Agency and Select Personnel
at the Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania facility who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 2, 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 4th day of August 2003.
