S&Z METALWORKS LIMITED
A SUBSIDIARY OF METALWORKS WORLDWIDE INCORPORATED
INCLUDING WORKERS WHOSE WAGES ARE REPORTED UNDER FEID NUMBER FOR
S&Z TOOL & DIE COMPANY INCORPORATED
CLEVELAND, OHIO

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 December 4, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by the UAW, Region 2-B, on behalf of
workers of S&Z Metalworks Limited, a subsidiary of Metalworks
Worldwide Incorporated, Cleveland, Ohio. Workers at the subject
facility produce stamped metal components for a variety of
industries, particularly the automotive industry.
The investigation also revealed that salaried workers' wages
of S&Z Metalworks Limited were also reported under FEID number for
S&Z Tool & Die Company Incorporated.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject facility declined during January through October 2007 when
compared with the same period of the previous year.
The investigation revealed that S&Z Metalworks Limited, a
subsidiary of Metalworks Worldwide Incorporated, Cleveland, Ohio,
supplies components and a loss of business with a manufacturer of
automotive vibration control components whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance contributed
importantly to the separation or threat of separation of workers at
S&Z Metalworks Limited, a subsidiary of Metalworks Worldwide
Incorporated, Cleveland, Ohio.
In addition, 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 workers of S&Z Metalworks Limited,
a subsidiary of Metalworks Worldwide Incorporated, Cleveland, Ohio
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 S&Z Metalworks Limited, a subsidiary of
Metalworks Worldwide Incorporated, Cleveland, Ohio, including
workers whose wages are reported under FEID for S&Z Tool & Die
Company Incorporated, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 30, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 20th day of December 2007
