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 March 25, 2002, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of a
support staff worker at Dana Corporation, Victor Reinz Division,
Robinson, Illinois. The plant produces of soft gaskets and
engine repair kits.
The investigation revealed that criterion (1) has not been
met.
The separation of 1 worker out of entire employee population
at the plant producing soft gaskets and engine repair kits at
Victor Reinz Division of Dana Corporation, Robinson, Illinois,
does not meet the criterion set forth which specifically states
that a significant number or proportion of workers in the subject
plant were separated.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Dana
Corporation, Victor Reinz Division, Robinson, Illinois are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 21st day of June, 2002
