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 eligi-bility 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 in response to a petition received on September 17, 2001, on behalf of workers at Emsar, Inc., Bridgeport, Connecticut and Stratford, Connecticut. The workers produced molded spray pump valves. The investigation revealed that criterion (3)has not been met.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm closed the Bridgeport, Connecticut plant and shifted its production of
molded spray pump valves domestically and to the their facility in Italy. Once the molded spray pump valve is produced in Italy, it will be sent back to the Bridgeport, Connecticut to be assembled into a final product.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at EMSAR, Bridgeport, Connecticut and Stratford, Connecticut, engaged in the production of molded spray pump valves, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 27th day of November, 2001.
