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 November 6, 2000, and filed by the Union of
Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees on behalf of workers
at CAMP Healthcare, Jackson, Michigan. The workers produce
orthopedic braces and other post-surgical products.
This investigation revealed that the subject firm has
increased their reliance on imported orthopedic braces and other
post-surgical products while reducing the production and employment
levels at Jackson, Michigan.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with orthopedic braces and other post-
surgical products produced by CAMP Healthcare, Jackson, Michigan
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 CAMP Healthcare, Jackson, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 23, 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."
