COMOR INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF
M-PLOY TEMPORARY SERVICES, INC.
COCHRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA

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 in response to a petition
received on June 30, 2008, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Comor Inc., Cochranton, Pennsylvania. The
worker group also includes leased workers of M-Ploy Temporary
Services, Inc., working on-site at Comor Inc., Cochranton,
Pennsylvania. The workers produce plastic injection molded parts.
A previous TAA certification for workers at the subject firm
expired on June 29, 2008 (TA-W-59,595).
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined at the subject facility during the relevant
period.
The investigation revealed that a major customer increased its
purchases of imported plastic injection molded parts, while
decreasing its purchases from the subject firm during the relevant
time 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 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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with plastic injection molded parts
produced at Comor Inc., Cochranton, Pennsylvania, 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 Comor Inc., including on-site leased workers
of M-Ploy Temporary Services, Inc., Cochranton, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 30, 2008, 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 5th day of August 2008.
