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 November 5, 2001, in response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at Teasdale Tool Corporation, Meadville, Pennsylvania. The workers produce mold products including mold inserts.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not import mold products including mold inserts from 1999 through September 2001, the time period relevant to this investigation. Furthermore, a Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major customers revealed no increase in import purchases of mold products while reducing purchases from the subject firm during the relevant period.
A petition for eligibility to apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance has been filed by a company official on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-5465).
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at Teasdale Tool Corporation, Meadville, Pennsylvania engaged in employment related to the production of mold products including mold inserts, 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 May, 2002.
