SCHOTT CORPORATION
MARSHALL, MINNESOTA
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 sub-division have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by the firm or ap-propriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition received on March 6, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at Schott Corporation, Marshall, Canby and Minneota, Minnesota. The workers produced magnetic components (transformers and inductors).
This petition investigation is limited to the workers at the Marshall, Minnesota plant because the three workers filing the petition may only apply for assistance at the plant in which they were employed, not all Minnesota locations of Schott Corporation.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The subject firm has decreased its imports of magnetic components (transformers and inductors).
The Labor Department surveyed major customers of the subject firm. The survey revealed that none of the customers increased import purchases of magnetic components (transformers and inductors) while reducing purchases from the subject firm.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance has been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA 4638).
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Schott Corporation, Marshall, Minnesota, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 31st day of October 2001.
