BMH CHRONOS RICHARDSON, INC.
FAIRFIELD, NEW JERSEY
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 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 June 4, 2001, filed by the company on behalf of workers
at BMH Chronos Richardson, Inc., Fairfield, New Jersey. The
workers produced packaging machines.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production, and levels of
employment.
The investigation also showed that the subject firm has
increased its imports of packaging machines.
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 BMH Chronos Richardson,
Inc., Fairfield, New Jersey, 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 BMH Chronos Richardson, Inc., Fairfield,
New Jersey, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 17, 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 11th day of July 2001.
