Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act. Public Law 100-418 (H.R. 3).

Adoption: 1988-08-23 | USA-1988-L-7253

Amends the legislation on trade and related matters by, inter alia, requiring the United States Trade Representative to retaliate against certain trade practices by raising tariffs on the offending country's goods. The definition of unreasonable practices subject to retaliation has been expanded to include a persistent pattern of violating internationally accepted workers' rights. A new procedure (described as a "super 301 procedure") has been established for examining allegations of such practices (Title I, Subtitle C, Part 1). Title III, Subtitle B enacts the International Debt Management Act of 1988. In addition, the principal Act extends the eligility of workers displaced from their jobs on account of imports to receive retraining assistance under the Trade Adjustment Act of 1974 (Title I, Subtitle D, Part 3). This training has been transformed into an entitlement programme no longer necessitating annual funding. The new legislation also sets up a trial project to pay a supplemental allowance to workers who take new jobs that pay less than their previous posts. Finally, in Title VI, Subtitle D of this Act, it contains the Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Assistance Act, which amends Title III of the Job Training Partnership Act (LS 1982-USA 1). The present Act also includes a number of measures to promote education, including literacy and vocational training.

Requires employers with 100 or more workers, excluding part-time employees, to give 60 days' advance notice of shutdowns of operations which affect at least 50 workers (sections 2 and 3). It also requires employers to give the same amount of notice of layoffs that would last more than six months and affect at least one-third of the workers at the employment site (ibid.). The notice period may be reduced under certain circumstances. Various exemptions are available, in particular if the closing resulted from a strike or lockout, of if the employer has sold its the business to a successor who agrees to continue employing the workers involved. Remedies in case of violation include an employee's back pay and benefits which may be awarded by a federal court, as well as a fine which may be imposed for failure to give advance notice to local governmental authorities. The remedies provided are to be exclusive for any violation of this Act (section 5(b)). Certain aspects of the notice provisions under this Act as they relate to provisions of the National Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act are addressed in sections 4 and 9.
