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 on December 4, 2000 in
response to a petition filed by a union official on behalf of
workers at Findlay Industries, Morrison Division, Morrison,
Tennessee. The workers produce automobile seat covers.
On January 19, 2001, the workers of the subject firm were
certified eligible to apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment
Assistance (NAFTA-4340).
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased during the period under investigation. The investigation also revealed that the company increased
imports of automobile seat covers in the relevant time 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 automobile seat covers at Findlay
Industries, Morrison Division, Morrison, Tennessee, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or 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 Findlay Industries, Morrison Division,
Morrison, Tennessee, who became totally or partially sepa-
rated from employment on or after November 22, 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 22nd day of January, 2001.
