[TA-W-63,878; TA-W-63878A; TA-W-63,878B]
Gerber Scientific, Inc., Gerber Scientific International, Inc.,
South Windsor, CT, Including Employees of Gerber Scientific, Inc.,
Gerber Scientific International, Inc., South Windsor, CT, Working in
the Following Locations: Broadway, VA; Coraopolis, PA; Amended
Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.
2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance on August 27, 2008, applicable to workers of
Gerber Scientific, Inc., South Windsor, Connecticut. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2008 (73 FR 53045).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged
in the production of computer controlled systems for manufacturing
apparel, soft goods, lenses for eyewear and signs.
New information shows that worker separations have occurred
involving employees of the South Windsor, Connecticut location of
Gerber Scientific, Inc., Gerber Scientific International, Inc. working
in Broadway, Virginia and Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. Mr. Eric Fulk and
Mr. Thomas Glatch provided engineering support function services for
the production of computer controlled systems for manufacturing
apparel, soft goods, lenses for eyewear and signs produced at the South
Windsor, Connecticut location of the subject firm.
Information also shows that workers separated from employment at
the subject firm had their wages reported under a separate unemployment
insurance (UI) tax account for Gerber Scientific International, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to
properly reflect these matters.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Gerber Scientific, Inc., Gerber Scientific International,
Inc., South Windsor, Connecticut who were adversely affected by
increased imports of computer controlled systems for manufacturing
apparel, soft goods, lenses for eyewear and signs following a shift in
production to China.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,878 is hereby issued as
follows:
``All workers of Gerber Scientific, Inc., Gerber Scientific
International, Inc., South Windsor, Connecticut, (TA-W-63,878),
including employees in support of Gerber Scientific, Inc., Gerber
Scientific International, Inc., South Windsor, Connecticut, working
in Broadway, Virginia (TA-W-63,878A) and Coraopolis, Pennsylvania
(TA-W-63,878B), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 14, 2007, through August 27, 2010, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.''
Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of September 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
