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 January 14, 2002 on behalf of workers at Thermal
Industries Inc., Vinylium Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The workers were engaged in the production of extruded vinyl
profiles (a/k/a vinyl lineal extrusions) for windows and boat
railings.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm declined to zero on December 31, 2001.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased its imports of extruded vinyl profiles (a/k/a vinyl
lineal extrusions) during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with the extruded vinyl profiles (a/k/a
vinyl lineal extrusions) produced at Thermal Industries Inc.,
Vinylium Corporation, Pittsburgh, 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 Thermal Industries Inc., Vinylium Corpora-
tion, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 27th day of February, 2002.
