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 19, 2002 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at SL Outerbanks, LLC, Lumberton, North Carolina.
The workers cut knit fabric (apparel parts).
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
plant is related to a shift in the cutting of knit fabric (apparel
parts) to countries (El Salvador and Honduras) that are beneficiary
countries under the Caribbean Basin 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 El Salvador and Honduras 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 SL Outerbanks, LLC, Lumberton, North Carolina,
engaged in the cutting of knit fabric (apparel parts) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 18, 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 12th day of December, 2002.
