AMPCO METAL, INC.
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN
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
filed on May 13, 2002by the United Auto Workers, Local 115 on
behalf of workers at Ampco Metal Inc., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The
workers produce copper base alloys and aluminum bronze in various
forms.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period
from 2000 to March 2002.
A Department of Labor survey of the subject firm's major
customers revealed increases in imports of copper base alloys and
aluminum bronze in various forms during the relevant period.
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 at Ampco Metal
Inc., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 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 the Ampco Metal Inc., Milwaukee, Wisconsin who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 10, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 19th day of July, 2002.
