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 on October 29, 2001, and
filed by a company official on behalf of workers at Symbol
Technologies, Holtsville and Bohemia, New York. The workers at
Bohemia produce bar code scanners, terminals, palm pilot parts
and radios. The workers at Holtsville provide administrative
services.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject plant decreased during the relevant period. The
company has increased their reliance on imported competitive
products during the same 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 bar code scanners, terminals, palm
pilot parts and radios produced at Symbol Technologies,
Holtsville and Bohemia, New York, 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 Symbol Technologies, Holtsville, New York
and Bohemia, New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 18, 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 12th day of March, 2002.
