Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met - the sales and/or production have
decreased at the workers' firm or subdivision and an increase in
imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles
produced by the workers' firm or subdivision contributed
importantly to workers' separation or threat of separation and to
the decline in the sales or production of the subject firm or
subdivision.
The investigation was initiated on October 8, 2003, in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers at Campbell Foundry Company, Harrison, New
Jersey. The workers at the subject firm produced gray iron
castings; they are not separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined during the period of
January through September of 2003, compared to the same period in
2002.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
gray iron castings have increased during the relevant period.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with gray iron castings produced at
the Campbell Foundry, Harrison, New Jersey contributed importantly
to the total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in
sales or production at that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Campbell Foundry Company, Harrison, New Jersey
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after October 7, 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 and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 29th day of October 2003.
