AJAY LEISURE PRODUCTS, INC.
DELAVAN, WISCONSIN
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 eli-
gibility 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 18, 2000, filed on behalf of workers at Ajay
Leisure Products, Inc., Delavan, Wisconsin. The workers produced
golf bags.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production and levels of employment.
It is now closed.
The United States Department of Labor conducted a survey of
major customers of the subject firm. Two of those customers have
significantly increased their imports of golf bags at the same time
they have decreased their purchases from the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with those produced by Ajay Leisure Products,
Inc., Delavan, Wisconsin, contributed importantly to the decline in
sales and production and to the total or partial separation of
workers of the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Ajay Leisure Products, Inc., Delavan,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 19, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 7th day of May 2001.
