CONVEYCO MANUFACTURING
CLACKAMAS, OREGON
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 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. 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 August 27, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at
Conveyco Manufacturing, Clackamas, Oregon. The workers produced
lumber conveying chain.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales and levels of employment.
The investigation also showed that during the period
January through July 2001 the subject firm increased its
reliance on imports of chains for conveying lumber as compared
with the same period of the previous year.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-
5185).
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 Conveyco
Manufacturing, Clackamas, Oregon, 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 Conveyco Manufacturing, Clackamas, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after August 5, 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 1st day of April 2002.
