VALEO CLIMATE CONTROL
ARCOLA, ILLINOIS
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 separated;
(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 18, 2001 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Valeo Climate Control,
Arcola, Illinois. The workers produced automotive air conditioning
modules. The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not
been met.
The company did not import like or directly competitive
products.
The investigation further revealed that air conditioning
modules produced at Arcola, Illinois were made for the export
market. Loss of export sales cannot be used as the basis for
certification under the Trade Act of 1974.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Valeo
Climate Control, Arcola, Illinois are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 22nd day of March, 2001.
