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 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 in response to a petition received on July 19, 2001 and filed by workers of Paxar Corporation, Paxar Fabric Label Group - Woven Division, Canton, North Carolina. The workers produced woven labels used on garments and shoes.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3)has not been met.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm closed the Canton, North Carolina plant and shifted its production of woven labels used on garments and shoes domestically.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the
subject firm=s customers. These surveys indicated that the customers were not purchasing from foreign sources.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at Paxar Corporation, Paxar Fabric Label Group - Woven Division, Canton, North Carolina, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 20th day of September 2001.
