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 June 24, 2002 and filed on behalf of workers at Elbeco,
Inc., Meyersdale Manufacturing, Meyersdale, Pennsylvania. The
workers of the subject firm produce uniform shirts.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that company imports
of uniform shirts increased absolutely 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 uniform shirts produced by
Elbeco, Inc., Meyersdale Manufacturing, Meyersdale, Pennsylvania,
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 Elbeco, Inc., Meyersdale Manufacturing,
Meyersdale, Pennsylvania, engaged in employment related to the
production of uniform shirts, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 29, 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 23rd day of August, 2002.
