Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), 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 adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on September 11, 2000, and filed on behalf of workers at
Fawn Industries, Middlesex, North Carolina. The workers produce
injection molded plastic parts.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment has been filed on
behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA - 4128). A determina-
tion on that petition will be made concurrently with this decision.
This investigation revealed that the subject firm has
inaugurated a major reliance on imported plastic injection molded
parts while reducing both employment and production at Middlesex,
North Carolina.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with injection molded plastic parts
produced by Fawn Industries, Middlesex, North Carolina contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the total
or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Fawn Industries, Middlesex, North Carolina,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after September 1, 1999, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 10th day of October, 2000.
