PROGRESSIVE TOOL & DIE, INC.
MEADVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA
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 August 6, 2001, in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Progressive Tool & Die, Inc., Meadville, Pennsylvania. The workers produce plastic mold and machine spare parts.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The subject firm did not import plastic mold and machine spare parts from abroad.
The Department surveyed major customers of the subject firm regarding their purchases of plastic mold and machine spare parts. Results of the survey indicated that customers were not importing plastic mold and machine spare parts from aboard.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Progressive Tool & Die, Inc., Meadville, Pennsylvania, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 15th day of November, 2001.
