SAGEM, INC.
GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA
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 eligi-bility 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 June 17, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at SAGEM,
Inc., Greenville, South Carolina. The workers produced gas
injectors.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm did not import gas injectors. Closure of
the Greenville plant is due to the firm's decision to transfer
production abroad.
The subject firm exported most of its production and thus
was not affected by imports.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at
SAGEM, Inc., Greenville, South Carolina, are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
