CAIRN STUDIO, LTD
MOORESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
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 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. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated on July 8, 2002, in response
to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers at Cairn
Studio, LTD, Mooresville, North Carolina. The workers produce art
reproductions.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm decreased during the period under investigation.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased their imports of art reproductions during the relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like
or directly competitive with art reproductions manufactured at
Cairn Studio, LTD, Mooresville, North Carolina, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the
total or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accor-
dance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Cairn Studio, LTD, Mooresville, North
Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from em-
ployment on or after June 13, 2001 through two years from
the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjust-
ment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 25th day of September, 2002.
