KIMBLE GLASS, INC.
VINELAND, NEW JERSEY
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 sub-division have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by the firm or ap-propriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on July 9, 2001, in response to a petition filed by the American Flint Glass Workers, Local 701, on behalf of workers at Kimble Glass, Vineland, New Jersey. The workers produced disposable glass culture tubes.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The subject firm does not import disposable glass culture tubes.
A survey of major customers of the subject firm revealed that they are not importing disposable glass culture tubes.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Kimble Glass, Inc., Vineland, New Jersey, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 9th day of January 2002.
