RAYOVAC CORPORATION
WONEWOC, WISCONSIN
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
eligibility 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 16, 2001, and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Rayovac Corporation, Wonewoc, Wisconsin. The workers
produce lantern batteries and lighting devices (flashlights).
This investigation revealed that the subject firm has
increased its reliance on imported lantern batteries and lighting
devices, while curtailing production and employment at Wonewoc,
Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with alkaline batteries produced by
Rayovac Corporation, Wonewoc, Wisconsin contributed importantly to
the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Rayovac Corporation, Wonewoc, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 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 in Washington, D. C. this 18th day of April, 2001.
