ELDER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.
DEXTER, MISSOURI
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 25, 2001, filed by UNITE, Missouri District, on behalf of workers at Elder Manufacturing Company, Dexter, Missouri. The workers produced pants and shorts for boys= and girls= student uniforms.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant experienced declines in sales and levels of employment.
The investigation also showed that the company has increased its imports of pants and shorts for boys and girls student uniforms.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance has been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA 4995). A determination on that petition will be made concurrently with this determination.
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 Elder Manufacturing Company, Inc., Dexter, Missouri, 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 Elder Manufacturing Company, Inc., Dexter, Missouri, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 4, 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 5th day of September 2001.
