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
eligibility 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
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate 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 30, 2001, in response
to a petition filed by Glass Molders, Pottery & Allied Workers
International Union, Local 45B on behalf of workers at Innovative
Home Products, Covington, Ohio. The workers produced garage door
openers.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not
import garage door openers during the relevant period. Moreover, a
Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major domestic
customers revealed no imports of garage door openers.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers formerly at
Innovative Home Products, Covington, Ohio engaged in employment
related to the production of garage door openers, are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 21st day of May, 2002.
