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 November 25, 2003 in response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at Wentworth Mold Inc., a subsidiary of Wentworth Technologies Company Limited, East USA Division, Pawcatuck, Connecticut. The workers at the subject firm produce molds; they are not separately identifiable.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm declined in 2003 due to closure of the facility.
Furthermore, the subject firm shifted production of molds to a country (Canada) that is party to a free trade agreement with the United States during the relevant period.
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 Canada 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 Wentworth Mold Inc., a subsidiary of Wentworth Technologies Company Limited, East USA Division, Pawcatuck, Connecticut who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 19, 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 December 2003.
