DANLY IEM
BEAVER DAM, WISCONSIN
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), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on in response to a petition
received on June 7, 2005 in response to a petition filed by the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers,
Local 2052 on behalf of workers of Danly IEM, Beaver Dam,
Wisconsin. The workers produce components for tool and die.
The investigation revealed that Danly IEM, Beaver Dam,
Wisconsin supplies component parts for tool and die and a loss of
business with several manufacturers of tool and dies whose
workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance contributed importantly to the separation or threat of
separation of workers at Danly IEM, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.
Furthermore, the subject firm has increased its reliance on
imported tool and die components during the relevant period.
In addition, 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 workers of Danly IEM, Beaver Dam,
Wisconsin qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Danly IEM, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 2, 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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 13th day of July 2005.
