SUNCOOK TRIM CORPORATION
ALLENSTOWN, NEW HAMPSHIRE
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 on August 27, 2001, and filed by the company on behalf of workers at Suncook Trim Corporation, Allenstown, New Hampshire. The workers produced woven labels.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment declined during the period of this investigation.
Further findings of the investigation revealed that the subject firm is increasingly relying on purchases of woven labels from abroad.
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 woven labels produced at Suncook Trim Corporation, Allenstown, New Hampshire, contributed importantly to the decline in sales or 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 of Suncook Trim Corporation, Allenstown, New Hampshire, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 16, 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 in Washington, D. C. this 16th day of November, 2001.
