TRUFORM RUBBER PRODUCTS
HUDSON, OHIO
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 March 12, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at Truform
Rubber Products, Hudson, Ohio. The workers produced rubber parts
for automobiles.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production and levels of employment.
It is now closed.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the major
declining customers of the subject firm regarding their purchases
of rubber parts for automobiles. The survey revealed that from
1999 to 2000, customers reducing purchases from the subject firm
increased import purchases of rubber parts for automobiles.
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 Truform Rubber
Products, Hudson, Ohio, 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 Truform Rubber Products, Hudson, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after February 28, 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 14th day of May 2001.
