Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on November 13, 2002 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at After Six, Inc., Athens, Georgia. The workers
at the subject firm produce men's formalwear including tuxedos,
vests and ties.
The investigation revealed that layoffs have occurred and
beginning in 2001 the subject firm has shifted production of men's
formalwear including tuxedos, vests and ties to Mexico.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers= firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are like
or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of After Six, Inc., Athens, Georgia who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 5, 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, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 22nd day of November, 2002.
