ULTRAFEM INC.
MISSOULA, MONTANA
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 11, 2002, and
filed by the company on behalf of workers at Ultrafem, Inc.,
Missoula, Montana. The workers are engaged in employment
related to the production of menstrual collection cups.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined at the subject plant during the relevant
periods.
The company increased their imports of menstrual collection
cups during the relevant period.
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 menstrual collection cups, 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 Ultrafem, Inc., who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 16,
2001 through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 19th day of March, 2002.
