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 February 26, 2001, filed by Teamsters Local No. 11 on
behalf of workers Great Lakes Paper Company, Clifton, New Jersey.
The workers produced materials for making lampshades.
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 customers of the subject
firm had increased their imports of materials for making lampshades
while decreasing their 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 those produced by Great Lakes Paper
Company, Clifton, New Jersey, 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 Great Lakes Paper Company, Clifton, New
Jersey, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 8, 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 16th day of April 2001.
