WEST WAREHAM, MASSACHUSETTS
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 October 2, 2000, and filed on behalf of workers at Exel
USA, Inc./Fiberspar Sports, West Wareham, Massachusetts. The
workers produce surf masts and booms, boat spars and hockey sticks.
This investigation revealed that the subject firm has
increased its reliance on imported surf masts and booms, boat spars
and hockey sticks while decreasing employment and production levels
of all products at West Wareham, Massachusetts.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with surf masts and booms, boat spars
and hockey sticks produced at Exel USA, Inc./Fiberspar Sports, West
Wareham, Massachusetts 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 Exel USA, Inc./Fiberspar Sports, West Wareham,
Massachusetts, 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."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 13th day of November, 2000.
