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 December 12, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Omniglow Corporation, Springfield, Massachusetts. The
workers at the subject firm produce chemiluminescent products; they
are separately identifiable by product line. This petition was
filed on behalf of workers engaged in the production of glowflex
tape.
A significant number or proportion of workers at the subject
firm are threatened to become separated from employment.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in production of glowflex tape to a
country (Mexico) that is a party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
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 Mexico 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 Omniglow Corporation, West Springfield,
Massachusetts engaged in the production of glowflex tape who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 11, 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."
