MOON TOOL AND DIE COMPANY, INC.
CONNEAUT LAKE, 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 on January 14, 2002, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Moon Tool and Die Company, Inc., Conneaut Lake,
Pennsylvania. The workers are engaged in the production of
plastic injection molds and spare parts.
Sales and employment declined during the relevant period.
The United States Department of Labor surveyed the major
customers of the subject firm regarding their purchases of
plastic injection molds and spare parts during the relevant
period. The respondents indicated that they reduced purchases
from the subject firm and increased imports of plastic injection
molds and spare parts during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of plastic injection
molds and spare parts, 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 Moon Tool and Die Company, Inc., Conneaut
Lake, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 22, 2000, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
