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, 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on April 11, 2007, in response
to a petition filed by a State agency representative on behalf of
workers of Metrologic Instruments, Corporate Division, Blackwood,
New Jersey. The workers are engaged in the production of bar code
scanners/imagers.
The investigation determined that production and employment at
the subject firm declined from January through March 2007 when
compared to the corresponding 2006 period.
The investigation also revealed that company imports of bar
code scanners/imagers increased during the relevant period.
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 do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with bar code scanners/imagers
produced by Metrologic Instruments, Corporate Division, Blackwood,
New Jersey, contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production at
that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
“All workers of Metrologic Instruments, Corporate Division,
Blackwood, New Jersey, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 10, 2006, 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 in Washington, D.C. this 14th day of May, 2007.
