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.
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 February 11, 2004, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Saylor Industries, Inc., Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The
workers at the subject firm produce honed cylinders and are
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that Saylor Industries, Inc.,
Johnstown, Pennsylvania, is an upstream supplier of honed cylinders
who lost business with a manufacturer of air compressors whose
workers were certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment
assistance. This loss of business contributed importantly to the
worker separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Saylor Industries, Inc.,
Johnstown, Pennsylvania 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 Saylor Industries, Inc., Johnstown,
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 4, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 8th day of March, 2004.
