BUTECH, INCORPORATED
SALEM, OHIO
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 28, 2001 in response to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers at Butech, Incorporated, Salem, Ohio. The workers produce metal cutting and handling equipment such as choppers and shears.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
A customer survey was conducted of the firm=s major customers. The survey revealed no increased purchases of metal cutting and handling equipment such as choppers and shears from foreign sources or from other domestic sources that had them wholly manufactured in a foreign country. Metal cutting or handling equipment is not being imported by Butech, Incorporated.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Butech, Incorporated, Salem, Ohio, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 2nd day of January, 2002.
