Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a Firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.


The investigation was initiated on January 12, 2010 in
response to a petition filed by the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers on behalf of workers and former
workers of M.A. Moslow & Brothers, Inc., Buffalo, New York.
The workers manufacture wood plaques and trophy bases.
The investigation revealed that workers of M.A. Moslow &
Brothers, Inc. meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of workers at M.A. Moslow & Brothers,
Inc. has been totally or partially separated, or threatened
with such separation, during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production by M.A. Moslow & Brothers, Inc., have
decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because there has
been increased imports of articles like or directly
competitive with wood plaques and trophy bases produced by
M.A. Moslow & Brothers, Inc., have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports by M.A. Moslow & Brothers, Inc. contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at the Buffalo, New York facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of M.A. Moslow &
Brothers, Inc. meet the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of M.A. Moslow & Brothers, Inc., Buffalo, New
York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 11, 2009, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 25th day of June, 2010
