Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated May 11, 2005 in response to a
petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at All-
Luminum Products, Inc., D/B/A Rio Brands, including on-site leased
workers of Goldstar Services, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The
workers at the subject firm produce outdoor tables and chairs. The
workers are not separately identifiable by specific product.
The investigation revealed that employment decreased during
January through April 2005 compared with the same period in 2004.
It is anticipated that production at the subject facility will
cease in June of 2005.
The subject firm has been shifting production of outdoor table
and chairs at the Philadelphia plant to China on an ongoing basis.
Production shifted abroad is being imported to supply customers in
the United States.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift of production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to China of articles like or
directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an increase in
imports of like or directly competitive articles. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of All-Luminum Products, Inc., D/B/A Rio Brands,
including on-site leased workers of Goldstar Services,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 9, 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, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974."
