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 March 3, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Morganite, Inc.,
Commutator Division, Dunn, North Carolina. The petitioning workers
produce commutators for fractional horsepower motors in consumer
applications.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the subject firm decreased in 2003 compared to 2002.
The investigation also revealed that a major customer of the
subject firm increased its reliance of imported commutators, while
reducing purchases from the subject firm during the period under
investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of commutators
produced at Morganite, Inc., Commutator Division, Dunn, North
Carolina 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 Morganite, Inc., Commutator Division, Dunn,
North Carolina who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 16, 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 23rd day of April, 2004.
