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 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:
(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 July 22, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at ZF
Industries, Inc., Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The workers are engaged
in employment related to the production of axle system units for
the M-Class Mercedes Benz.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm did not import axle system units during
the period under investigation.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firms' major
customer(s) regarding their purchases of axle system units for
the M-Class Mercedes Benz during 2000, 2001 and January through
June 2002. The survey revealed that none of the customer(s)
imported axle system units during the period under
investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of ZF
Industries, Inc., Tuscaloosa, Alabama are denied eligibility to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 10th day of September, 2002.
