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 September 10, 2001 in
response to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers
at J & J Tool, Guys Mills, Pennsylvania. The workers produced
small tooling parts for plastic injection molds.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
J & J Tool, Guys Mills, Pennsylvania does not import like or
directly competitive articles to those produced at the Guys Mills
plant.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of major
customers of J & J Tool, Guys Mills, Pennsylvania, regarding
their purchases of small tooling parts for injection molds in
1999, 2000, and January through July of 2000 and 2001. None of
the respondents reported any imports of like or directly
competitive articles to those produced at the Guys Mills plant.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of J & J
Tool, Guys Mills, Pennsylvania, are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 14th day of February, 2002.
