SULZER PUMPS (US) INC.
PORTLAND, OREGON
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 July 1, 2002, filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Sulzer Pumps (US) Inc., Portland, Oregon. Workers
produce industrial pumps.
Findings of this investigation revealed that production and
employment at the subject plant declined in the relevant time
period.
Further findings revealed that the subject firm is increasing
imports of both pump components and assembled pumps contributing to
separations at the Portland plant.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with industrial pumps produced by
Sulzer Pumps (US) Inc., Portland, Oregon, 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 Sulzer Pumps (US) Inc., Portland, Oregon, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 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 in Washington, D. C. this 4th day of October 2002.
