Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an 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)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 3, 2005 in
response to a petition filed by a State agency representative on
behalf of workers of Hutchinson Seal, National O’Ring Division,
Downey, California. The workers are engaged in the production
of rubber gaskets, o’rings and seals.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject firm is related to a shift in plant production of rubber
gaskets, o’rings and seals to a country, Mexico, that is a party
to a Free Trade Agreement with the United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with rubber gaskets, o’rings
and seals produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Hutchinson Seal, National O’Ring Division,
Downey, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 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 3rd day of February, 2005.
