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. 100-148), 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 April 9, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at Cajun Bag
& Supply Corp., Rayne, Louisiana. The workers produced flexible
intermediate bulk containers.
A petition for Transitional Adjustment Assistance has been
filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA 4689). A
determination on that petition will be made concurrently with this
decision.
Sales, production and employment declined from 1999 to 2000,
and in the first two months of 2001 compared to the first two
months of 2000. The company is increasing imports of flexible
intermediate bulk containers.
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 Cajun Bag & Supply
Corp., Rayne, Louisiana, 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 the Cajun Bag & Supply Corp., Rayne,
Louisiana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 23, 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 30th day of April, 2001.
