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 July 9, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at
Mallinckrodt Medical, Plymouth, Minnesota. The workers produce
medical devices.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined at the Plymouth plant during the relevant period. The
subject firm has expanded an established reliance on foreign
sources for all of its product lines at Plymouth, Minnesota.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with medical devices produced at
Mallinckrodt Medical, Plymouth, Minnesota 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 Mallinckrodt Medical, Plymouth, Minnesota, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 20, 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."
