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 April 08, 2002, and filed by the company official on
behalf of workers at Turbon, Jetfill Divisions, Houston, Texas.
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production
of inkjet cartridges.
The investigation revealed that production, and employment
at the subject firm declined absolutely from 2000 to 2001. The
subject firm ceased production in September of 2001.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
inkjet cartridges increased absolutely 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 inkjet cartridges, 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 Turbon, Jetfill Divisions, Houston, Texas,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 01, 2000, 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 25th day of June, 2002.
