Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in employment related to the production of a variety
of injection molded plastic items including soap dispensers,
totes, storage containers, and wheels for lawnmowers.
New information shows that in April 2008, CIMA Plastics II
Corporation purchased SR Plastics, d/b/a Engineered Quality

are being reported under the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax
accounts for CIMA Plastics II Corporation, formerly known as SR
Plastics, d/b/a Engineered Quality Plastics.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of CIMA Plastics II Corporation, formerly known as SR
Plastics, d/b/a Engineered Quality Plastics who were adversely
affected by a shift in production of injection molded plastics
including soap dispensers, totes, storage containers, and wheels
for lawn mowers to Mexico.



The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,513 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of CIMA Plastics II Corporation, formerly known
as SR Plastics, d/b/a Engineered Quality Plastics, Elberton,
Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 2, 2007, through July 8, 2010,
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.”

CIMA PLASTICS II CORPORATION
ELBERTON, GEORGIA

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)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on June 11, 2008 in response to a petition filed on behalf of
workers of CIMA Plastics II Corporation, Elberton, Georgia. Workers produce a variety of injection
molded plastics including soap dispensers, totes, storage containers, and wheels for lawn mowers.
Workers are not separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm shifted production of injection molded
plastics to a Mexico, a country that is party to a free trade agreement with 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 has been
a shift in production from the workers’ firm to Mexico of articles that are like or directly competitive
with those produced by the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:


"All workers of CIMA Plastics II Corporation, Elberton, Georgia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 2, 2007 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.”
