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 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated July 21, 2003 in response to a
petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Waterbury Companies, Inc., Randolph, Vermont. The workers at the
subject facility are engaged plastic injection molding and
assembly.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
facility decreased absolutely during the period of January through
June of 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the preponderance
of declines in employment at the subject firm is related to a shift
in production to China.
Moreover, the investigation revealed that imports of plastic
injection molding are likely to increase.
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 China 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 Waterbury Companies, Inc., Randolph, Vermont
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after July 18, 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.
