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 its 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 September 22, 2008, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of All-Luminum Products, d/b/a Rio Brands, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. The workers produce outdoor tables and chairs.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
facility declined from 2006 to 2007 and during the period of
January through September 2008 compared with the corresponding
period of 2007.
The investigation also revealed that All-Luminum Products,
d/b/a Rio Brands, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania increased reliance on
imports of outdoor tables and chairs during the period under
investigation.
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 pellet grills produced at All-
Luminum Products, d/b/a Rio Brands, Philadelphia, 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 All-Luminum Products, d/b/a Rio Brands,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 18, 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."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 19th day of December 2008
