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 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 on February 10, 2004 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Ultra Tool/Grantsburg LLC, Grantsburg, Wisconsin. The
workers were engaged in employment related to the production of
plastic injection molds.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm decreased from 2002 to 2003.
The Department of Labor surveyed major customers of the
subject firm regarding their purchases of injection molds in 2002
and 2003. The survey revealed that respondents increased their
imports while reducing purchases from the subject firm in the above
periods.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of injection
molds produced at Ultra Tool/Grantsburg LLC, Grantsburg, Wisconsin
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Ultra Tool/Grantsburg LLC, Grantsburg,
Wisconsin who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 9, 2003 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 26th day of March, 2004.
