ZEXEL VALEO COMPRESSOR USA
DECATUR, ILLINOIS
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 September 4, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at Zexel Valeo Compressor USA, Inc., Decatur, Illinois. The workers produce automotive air conditioning compressors.
This investigation revealed that the subject firm has increased its reliance on imported automotive air conditioning compressors while curtailing production and employment at Decatur, Illinois.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with automotive air conditioning compressors produced by Zexel Valeo Compressor USA, Inc., Decatur, Illinois contributed importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Zexel Valeo Compressor USA, Inc., Decatur, Illinois, engaged in employment related to the production of automotive air conditioning compressors who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 17, 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 2nd day of October, 2001.
