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 29, 2002 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Shiloh Industries,
Inc., Canton Die Division, Canton, Michigan. The workers produce
tool and die for affiliated automotive component suppliers.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm did not import tool and die. Production at
the subject plant was consolidated into other domestic facilities.
Automotive component suppliers that had relied on the subject
firm for tool and die have not imported like or directly
competitive products during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at Shiloh
Industries, Canton Die Division, Canton, Michigan, are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 25th day of September 2002.
