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 on behalf of workers at Invensys-
Powerware Corporation, also known as Best Power, Necedah,
Wisconsin. Workers were engaged in activities related to the
production of power protection and uninterruptible power
supplies.
This investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The investigation revealed the preponderance in subject
plant layoffs is attributed to shifts in production to foreign
sources. The company has not imported any products similar to
what the subject plant produces during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Invensys-Powerware Corporation, also known as Best Power,
Necedah, Wisconsin are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 19th day of April, 2001.
