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 on April 15, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers and former
workers of Radiall, Inc., Stratford, Connecticut. The workers
are engaged in the production of cable: coaxial, microwave and
fiber optic.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
levels at the subject firm decreased during the relevant period.
The company increased its imports of cable during the same time
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 cable produced at Radiall, Inc.,
Stratford, Connecticut 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 Radiall, Inc., Stratford, Connecticut who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 12, 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 13th day of May, 2002.
