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 25, 2000, filed on behalf of workers at
Ansell Health Care, Dothan, Alabama. The workers produced condoms.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in production and levels of employment.
The investigation also showed that the subject firm has
significantly increased its imports of condoms.
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 Ansell Health Care,
Dothan, Alabama, 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 Ansell Health Care, Dothan, Alabama, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after September 25, 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 28th day of November 2000.
