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, and
filed on behalf of workers at GE Lighting, Inc., Austintown
Products Plant, Youngstown, Ohio. The workers produced
incandescent lamp filament (coil).
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined at the subject firm during the relevant period. GE
Lighting, Inc., Austintown Products Plant, Youngstown, Ohio, is
shifting production to a foreign location and increasing imports
of incandescent lamp filament (coil) 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 those produced at GE Lighting,
Inc., Austintown Products Plant, Youngstown, Ohio, 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 GE Lighting, Inc., Austintown Products
Plant, Youngstown, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 15, 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."
