NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY
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 on March 4, 2002 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Rhodia, Inc., New
Brunswick, New Jersey. The workers produce coumarin and
salicyladehyde which are used primarily for the production of
perfume.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
not been filed on behalf of workers at the subject plant.
This investigation revealed that production and employment
at the subject firm decreased in 2001 as compared with 2000 and
in the period of January-March 2002 as compared with the same
period in 2001.
The investigation also revealed that company imports of
coumarin produce by the workers at the subject facility increased
in the period of January-March 2002 as compared with 2001.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like
or directly competitive with coumarin and salicyladehyde which
are used primarily for the production of perfume produced at
Rhodia, Inc., New Brunswick, New Jersey, 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 Rhodia, Inc., New Brunswick, New Jersey, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 12, 2000, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 4th day of April, 2002.
