Negative Determination 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 eligi-
bility 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on September 25, 2000, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Archer
Daniels Midland Company, Helena, Arkansas. The workers were
engaged in activities related to the manufacture of soybean
products.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
Sales and production at the subject firm declined in 1999
compared to 1998. Sales and production increased during the
period of January through July 2000 compared to the same time
period of the previous year. The facility is now closed.
The investigation further revealed that the soybeans
processed at Archer Daniels Midland, Helena, Arkansas, were for
the export market, and thus, the workers were not affected by
increased imports.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Archer
Daniels Midland Company, Helena, Arkansas, are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 12th day of January 2001.
