U.S. TAPE & STICKY PRODUCTS
GLOUCESTER, 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 December 13, 2000, and filed by the UFCW International
Union on behalf of workers at U.S. Tape & Sticky Products,
Gloucester, Massachusetts. The workers produced adhesive tape.
This investigation revealed that the subject firm has reduced
production and employment levels at the subject plant and increased
their reliance on like and directly competitive products from
foreign sources.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with adhesive tape produced by U.S.
Tape & Sticky Products, Gloucester, 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 U.S. Tape & Sticky Products, Gloucester,
Massachusetts, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 30, 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 March, 2001.
