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 22, 2002, on behalf of workers at Starkey
Laboratories, Glencoe, Minnesota. The petition was filed on behalf
of workers producing hearing aids.
Findings of this investigation revealed that production and
employment at the subject plant declined in the relevant time
period.
Further findings revealed that the major contributing factor
to the layoffs at Starkey Laboratories, Glencoe, Minnesota is
related to company imports of ear hearing aids.
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 by Starkey
Laboratories, Glencoe, Minnesota, 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 Starkey Laboratories, Glencoe, Minnesota,
engaged in the production of hearing aids who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April 8,
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 11th day of September, 2002.
