Negative Determination 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on January 28, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Polaroid
Corporation, Waltham, Massachusetts. The workers are engaged in
employment related to the production of integral film. The
workers are separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm shifted production of integral film abroad
but has not begun to import.
Currently, a NAFTA-TAA petition investigation is pending on
behalf of the workers at the subject facility, NAFTA-5754.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that workers of Polaroid
Corporation, Waltham, Massachusetts, engaged in the production of
integral film are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 8th day May 2002.
