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 27, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by the Union of Needle Trades,
Industrial, and Textile Employees, Local 818 on behalf of
workers of Stillman Seals Corporation, Carlsbad, California.
The workers are engaged in the production of o'rings and metal
to rubber gaskets for the aerospace industry.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject firm is related to a shift in production of o'rings and
metal to rubber gaskets to a country (Mexico) 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 those produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Stillman Seals Corporation, Carlsbad,
California who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 7, 2004 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 7th day of March, 2005.
