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 April 16, 2001, in response
to a petition filed jointly by the company and the United
Steelworkers of America, Local 644L on behalf of workers at M&G
Polymers USA, LLC, Apple Grove, West Virginia. Workers are engaged
in activities related to the production of PET resin.
This investigation revealed that criterion (2) has not been
met.
Plant sales and production increased during the relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of M&G
Polymers USA, LLC, Apple Grove, West Virginia are denied eligi-
bility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 26th day of April, 2001.
