COMPOSIDIE, INC.
APOLLO, PENNSYLVANIA
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 in response to a petition
received on December 17, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at
Composidie, Inc., Apollo, Pennsylvania. The workers produce
connector and leadframe dies used to stamp parts.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm declined absolutely from 2000 to 2001.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major
customer revealed increases in imports of connector and leadframe
dies used to stamp parts during the period under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Composidie,
Inc., Apollo, Pennsylvania contributed importantly to the decline
in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of
workers of that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of the Composidie, Inc., Apollo, Pennsylvania
engaged in employment related to the production of connector
and leadframe dies used to stamp parts, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 5,
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 at Washington, D.C., this 18th day of April, 2002.
