Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
U.S.C. 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 October 2, 2000, and filed by the International Union
of Electrical Workers on behalf of workers at Telex
Communications, Inc., Newport, Tennessee. The workers produce
audio components and sound systems.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm has
experienced declines in production and employment during the
period of this investigation. The company has also increased its
reliance on imports within the relevant period.
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 speakers, drivers and sound systems
produced at Telex Communications, Inc., Newport, Tennessee,
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 Telex Communications, Inc., Newport,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 15, 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."
