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 December 31, 2001, and
filed by workers at InterMetro Industries Corporation, Douglas,
Georgia. The workers produce wire steel shelving.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment
declined absolutely at the subject plant during the relevant
period. The subject firm increased its imports of wire steel
shelving 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 to those produced at InterMetro
Industries Corporation, Douglas, Georgia, 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 InterMetro Industries Corporation, Douglas,
Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 19, 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."
