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 September 22, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers
at U.S. Tsubaki, Inc., Roller Chain Division, Holyoke,
Massachusetts. The workers produce roller chain.
The investigation revealed worker separations at the
subject company during the relevant time period.
The investigation also revealed that the subject company
will increase imports following a shift of production abroad.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with roller chain produced at U.S.
Tsubaki, Inc., Roller Chain Division, Holyoke, Massachusetts
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 U.S. Tsubaki, Inc., Roller Chain Division,
Holyoke, Massachusetts who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 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, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 10th day of October 2003
