THE DANIEL GREEN COMPANY
DOLGEVILLE, NEW YORK
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 eli-gibility 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 January 29, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at The Daniel Green Company, Dolgeville, New York. The workers were engaged in employment related to the production of women's footwear.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant experienced declines in sales, production and levels of employment. It is now closed.
The investigation also showed that the subject firm has greatly increased its imports of women's footwear.
All workers at the subject facility were previously certified, TA-W-34,697, which expired on August 11, 2000.
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 those produced by The Daniel Green Company, Dolgeville, New York, contributed importantly to the decline in sales and production and to the total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at The Daniel Green Company, Dolgeville, New York, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 12, 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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 19th day of April 2001.
