Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (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 investigation was initiated November 20, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
American Allsafe Company, a subsidiary of Jackson Products, Inc.,
Tonawanda, New York. The workers at the subject firm produce hard
hats, safety glasses, safety goggles and bar guards; they are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the subject firm decreased from 2001 to 2002, and
from January through November 2003 when compared to the same time
period of 2002.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that company imports
of hard hats, safety glasses, safety goggles and bar guards have
increased during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive to those produced at the subject firm
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production at that firm. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of American Allsafe Company, a division of
Jackson Products, Inc., Tonawanda, New York, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 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.”
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 12th day of December 2003.
