INTERCRAFT BURNES
STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
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 29, 2002 and filed on behalf of workers at
Intercraft Burnes, Statesville, North Carolina. The workers
produced decorative photo and certificate frames and mirrors.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment decreased during the relevant period.
Company imports increased in 2001 compared to 2000 and in
January through March 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The
company recently began increasing their imports of the products
previously produced at the subject facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with decorative photo and certificate
frames and mirrors produced at Intercraft Burnes, Statesville,
North Carolina 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 Intercraft Burnes, Statesville, North Carolina
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 4, 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."
