CORTLAND, OHIO
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 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. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated On September 28, 2001, and
filed by workers at Alphabet Engineer-Design Center, a Division
of Stoneridge, Inc., Cortland, Ohio. The workers are engaged in
employment related to the production of board tooling used in
the production of wiring harnesses.
This investigation revealed that sales and employment
declined at the subject plant during the relevant periods.
The company increased their imports of board tooling during
the relevant period.
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 board tooling, 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 Alphabet Engineer-Design Center, a Division
of Stoneridge, Inc., Cortland, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
1, 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."
