JTM GROUP, INC.
JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK
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 September 9, 2002 and filed on behalf of workers at JTM
Group, Inc., Jamestown, New York. The workers are engaged in the
production of plastic injection molds.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm declined during the relevant period.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that customers
increased their imports of plastic injection molds, while
decreasing their purchases from the subject firm during the
relevant period.
A petition for eligibility for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment
Assistance has been (NAFTA-7580).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at the subject
firm 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 JTM Group, Inc., Jamestown, New York who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 11, 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 4th day of November, 2002.
