ORIGINALS BI-JUDI INC.
TOLLESON, ARIZONA
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 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. 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 13, 2000, and filed on behalf of workers at
Originals Bi-Judi Inc., Tolleson, Arizona. The workers were
engaged in the production of infant bedding. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined at the subject plant during the relevant
period.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the
subject firm's major declining customers regarding their
purchases of infant bedding during the relevant period. The
survey revealed that one of the major customers increased their
reliance on imported infant bedding while reducing purchases from
the subject firm.
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 infant bedding contributed importantly
to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of Originals Bi-Judi Inc., Tolleson,
Arizona In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Originals Bi-Judi Inc., Tolleson, Arizona
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after October 31, 2000, through two years from the date
of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
