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 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:
(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 subdi-
vision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or appro-
priate subdivision have contributed importantly to the
separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on February 4, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Tresco Tool
Inc., Guy Mills, Pennsylvania. The workers produced plastic
injection molds, dies and special assembly machines.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The Department conducted a survey of the major customer
regarding its purchases of plastic injection molds, dies and
special assembly machines in 1999, 2000 and January-October 2001.
The survey revealed that the respondent did not import in the
relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Tresco
Tool Inc., Guy Mills, Pennsylvania are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
