It’s another US bailout, but with a twist. The country’s Department of Labor has determined that all manufacturing employees previously laid off from SolarWorld Industries America Inc. will be eligible for a federal trade adjustment assistance which also includes grants for education.
The Labor Department may certify workers for trade-adjustment assistance only if it finds that an increase in competing imports "contributed importantly" to the decline in sales or production of a firm and to the cause for worker layoffs. The plant shut down after 35 years of production in Camarillo, California amid concerns of Chinese imports placing 186 people without a job. SolarWorld said it had to consolidate in order to compete with the illegally subsidized and dumped Chinese solar products.
