MIDWEST TANNING COMPANY
SOUTH MILWAUKEE, 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 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. 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 May 29, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at
Midwest Tanning Company, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The workers
produce cow side leather.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined at the subject plant in the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of major
customers of the subject firm regarding their purchases of cow
side leather. The results of the survey revealed that customers
increased their purchases of imported cow side leather in the
relevant period.
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 cow side leather produced at Midwest
Tanning Company, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin contributed impor-
tantly 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 Midwest Tanning Company, South Milwaukee,
Wisconsin who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 4, 2000, through two years from
the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 23rd day of July, 2001.
