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 December 8, 2004, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
the workers at More Sewit, LLC, Longmont, Colorado. The workers
produce wheel chair seat covers.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm declined from 2002 to 2003.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's major
customers regarding their purchases of wheel chair seat covers.
This survey revealed increases in import purchases of wheel
chair seat covers during the relevant time period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with wheel chair seat covers
produced by More Sewit, LLC, Longmont, Colorado, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the
total or partial separation of workers at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of More Sewit, LLC, Longmont, Colorado who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 7, 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 22nd day of December, 2004.
