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 eli-
gibility 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 30, 2002, filed on behalf of workers at Faith
Apparel, Inc., Richlands, Virginia. The workers produced ladies
sleepwear and loungewear.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production, and employment.
The investigation also revealed that United States aggregate
imports of pajamas and other nightwear increased during the twelve
months ending June 2002 as compared with the same period of the
previous year. The ratio of imports to domestic shipments of
pajamas and other nightwear was 555.5 percent during the twelve
month period ending June 2002.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with those produced by Faith Apparel, Inc.,
Richlands, Virginia, contributed importantly to the decline in
sales and production and to the total or partial separation of
workers of the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers at Faith Apparel, Inc., Richlands, Virginia,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 9, 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 3rd day of December 2002.
