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 July 30, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at Ansell Healthcare, Inc., Massillon, Ohio. The workers produced latex surgeons= gloves.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant experienced decreases in production and levels of employment.
The investigation also showed that the subject firm is importing latex surgeon=s gloves.
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 Ansell Healthcare, Inc., Massillon, Ohio, 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 Ansell Healthcare, Inc., Massillon, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 20, 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 12th day of December 2001.
