GOETZ DOLLS, INC.
BALDWINSVILLE, NEW YORK
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 in response to a petition
received on March 25, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at Goetz
Dolls, Inc., Baldwinsville, New York. The workers produce private
label play dolls.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's sole
customer regarding its purchases of private label play dolls. This
survey revealed increases in imports of private label play dolls
during the period under investigation.
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 Goetz Dolls,
Inc., Baldwinsville, New York 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 Goetz Dolls, Inc., Baldwinsville, New York
engaged in employment related to the production of private
label play dolls, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 15, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 25th day of September, 2002.
