LAUREL MOULD, INC.
GREENSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA
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 September 9, 2002, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Laurel
Mould, Inc., Greensburg, Pennsylvania. The workers were engaged
in the production of moulds for the glass industry.
The Department of Labor surveyed major customers of the
subject firm regarding their purchases of moulds for glass.
Respondents indicated they increased purchases of imported moulds
while discontinuing all orders from Laurel Mould, Inc.
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 those produced by Laurel Mould, Inc.,
Greensburg, 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
Trade Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Laurel Mould, Inc., Greensburg, Pennsylvania
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after August 22, 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."
