OLON INDUSTRIES, INC.
MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected worker group.
The investigation was initiated on December 18, 2003 in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Olon Industries, Inc., Mocksville, North Carolina. The workers of the subject facility produced drawers for furniture.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance as a secondarily affected worker group, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph (b)(3)(A) or (b)(3)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and employment at the subject facility decreased during the period of January through October 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002.
The investigation further revealed that the subject facility supplies a component part to a manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance, and the loss of business by the subject facility from this firm contributed importantly to the workers’ separations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I determine that workers of Olon Industries, Inc., Mocksville, North Carolina qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
“All workers of Olon Industries, Inc., Mocksville, North Carolina who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 5, 2002, through two years from the date of certification are eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 14th day of January 2004.
