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 15, 2002 and filed by on behalf of workers at
Burlington Industries, Inc., Reidsville Weaving Division,
Reidsville, North Carolina. Workers produce bedding and window
fashions. The workers are not separately identifiable by specific
product line.
The investigation revealed that the decline in employment at
the subject firm is related to a shift in production to countries
(Mexico and Canada) that are parties to a free trade agreement
with the United States.
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 and Canada 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 Burlington Industries, Inc., Reidsville
Weaving Division, Reidsville, North Carolina who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 8, 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 18th day of December, 2002.
