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 met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on November 14, 2002 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Drusco, Inc., Miami, Florida (TA-W-50,081)
and The Cutting Company, Inc., Miami, Florida (TA-W-50,081A).
The workers produce men's/boys and women's/girls pants.
The investigation revealed that both companies are
affiliated through common ownership.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
plant is related to a shift in plant production of men's/boys and
women's/girls pants to the Dominican Republic that is a beneficiary
country under the Caribbean Economic Recovery Act.
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 Dominican Republic 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 Drusco, Inc., Miami, Florida (TA-W-50,081)
and The Cutting Company, Inc., Miami, Florida (TA-W-
50,081A), who became totally or partially separated from em-
ployment on or after November 13, 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."
