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 20, 2001 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Craftline Wood
Products, Mountain City, Tennessee. The workers produced outdoor
furniture and related wood products. The investigation revealed
that criterion (3) has not been met.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not
import outdoor furniture and related wood products.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major
declining customers revealed no increases of imports of outdoor
furniture and related wood products.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at
Craftline Wood Products, Mountain City, Tennessee engaged in
employment related to the production of outdoor furniture and
related wood products, are denied eligibility to apply for adjust-
ment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 6th day of May, 2002.
