Negative Determination 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separat-
ed;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on March 5, 2001, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Cabinet Works LLC, Distinctive Woodworks LLC,
Jefferson City, Tennessee. The workers were engaged in the
production of television cabinets.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm did not import television cabinets.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the major
customers of the subject firm. The survey revealed that the
major customers did not import television cabinets during the
period under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Cabinet Works LLC, Distinctive Woodworks LLC, Jefferson City,
Tennessee are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 14th day of May, 2001.
