Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on December 13, 2002, applicable to workers
of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., formerly Frolic Footwear, a
Division of Wolverine Manufacturing Group, Arkansas operations,
Monette, Arkansas. The notice will be published soon in the
Federal Register.
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company
reports that worker separations occurred at the Jonesboro,
Arkansas location of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., Arkansas
Operations. The Jonesboro, Arkansas location produces cut to fit
upper component parts needed for the production of house slippers
and clog slippers at the Monette, Arkansas location of the
subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to include workers of the Jonesboro, Arkansas
location of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., Arkansas Operations.
The intent of the Department=s certification is to include
all workers of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., Arkansas Operations
who were adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-42,343 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., formerly Frolic
Footwear, a Division of Wolverine Manufacturing Group,
Arkansas Operations, Monette, Arkansas (TA-W-42,343), and
Jonesboro, Arkansas (TA-W-42,343A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 23,
2001, through December 13, 2004, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.@

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 13th day of January 2003.

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 on November 1, 2002, and
filed on behalf of workers at Wolverine World Wide, Inc.,
formerly Frolic Footwear, a Division of Wolverine Manufacturing
Group, Arkansas Operations, Monette, Arkansas. The workers
produced house and clog slippers.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined at the subject plant during January through
September 2002 when compared to the same time period in 2001.
The company increased their imports of house and clog
slippers 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 house and clog slippers, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales or 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 of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., formerly Frolic
Footwear, a Division of Wolverine Manufacturing Group,
Arkansas Operations, Monette, Arkansas, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October
23, 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."
