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
November 1, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at International Hosiery
Network, LLC, Hickory, North Carolina. The workers at the subject firm
produced socks.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and employment at
the subject firm declined from January through October 2002, when compared
to January through October 2001.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm increased
imports of socks during the period under investigation.
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 International Hosiery Network, LLC,
Hickory, North Carolina, 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 21, 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 8th day of November, 2002.
