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 in response to a petition
received on December 31, 2001, and filed by the company official
on behalf of workers at Sunrise Medical, Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production
of mobile lifts and transfer systems.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined from 2000 to 2001.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
mobile lifts and transfer systems increased absolutely during
the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with mobile lifts and transfer
systems, 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 Sunrise Medical, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 29, 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 28th day of May, 2002.
