LAKE VILLAGE, ARKANSAS
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 eligibility 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
October 28, 2002, and filed by the company official on behalf of workers
at Lake Village Industries, Lake Village, Arkansas. The workers at the
subject firm produced knitted shirts, children's pajamas, gowns and pants.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and employment at
the subject firm declined from 2000 to 2001, and declined again from
January through September 2002, when compared to January through September
2001.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm increased
imports of knitted shirts, children's pajamas, gowns and pants during the
relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I
conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced at Lake Village Industries, Lake Village,
Arkansas, 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 Lake Village Industries, Lake Village, Arkansas, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 10, 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 5th day of November, 2002.
