ALL U CAN HANDLE
A DIVISION OF PERLORA, INC.
PITTSBURGH, 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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated January 15, 2003 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of All U Can Handle, a
division of Perlora, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The workers
at the subject firm produced handmade tableware and serving pieces.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
decreased absolutely during the period of 2001 to 2002.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the preponderance
of declines in employment at the subject firm is related to a shift
in production of handmade tableware and serving pieces to a foreign
country.
Moreover, the investigation revealed that imports of handmade
tableware and serving pieces are likely to increase.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with handmade tableware and serving
pieces produced at All U Can Handle, a division of Perlora, Inc.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania contributed importantly to the total or
partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales or
production and at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of All U Can Handle, a division of Perlora, Inc.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 10, 2002 through
two years from the date of certification are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 5th day of February, 2002
