Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
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.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 5, 2004 in response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at PolyOne Corporation, DeForest, Wisconsin. The workers at the subject facility produce Elastomers.
The investigation revealed that PolyOne Corporation, DeForest, Wisconsin supplies component parts for rubber hoses and a loss of business with a manufacturer (whose workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance) contributed importantly to the workers separation or threat of separation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I determine that workers of PolyOne Corporation, DeForest, Wisconsin 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 PolyOne Corporation, DeForest, Wisconsin who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 29, 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.”
