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 eligi-
bility 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 9, 2002, and filed by the Needletrades,
Industrial, and Textile Employees Union, Local 89-22-1 on behalf
of all workers at Leslie Fay Marketing, Inc., Trio Division, New
York, New York. The workers produced ladies' dresses.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined at the subject plant during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the company
increased their purchases of imported ladies' dresses during the
relevant period.
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 ladies' dresses produced at Leslie Fay
Marketing, Inc., Trio Division, New York, New York, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or production and to the
total or partial separation of workers of that firm. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Leslie Fay Marketing, Inc., Trio Division,
New York, New York, who became totally or partially separat-
ed from employment on or after October 11, 2001, through two
years from the date of this certification, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 29th day of October, 2002.
