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 April 15, 2002 in
response to a petition filed by the United Steelworkers of
America, Local 5032, on behalf of workers at A. Stucki Company,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The workers produce freight car
suspension components.


The investigation revealed that criterion (1) has not been
met.
The date of the petition is March 24, 2002. The subject
firm has not experienced declines in employment in the relevant
time period, one year prior to the date of the petition.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of A.
Stucki Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 17th day of May, 2002
