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 Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on February
14, 2003, applicable to workers of Mastercraft Fabrics, LLC,
Andrew Major Plant, including temporary workers of Manpower,
Personnel Services Unlimited and Coxe Personnel, Spindale, North
Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
March 10, 2003 (68 FR 11409).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in the production of jacquard furniture fabric.
New information shows that Joan Fabrics Corporation is the
parent firm of Mastercraft Fabrics, LLC, Andrew Major Plant.
Workers separated from employment at the subject firm had their
wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax
accounts for Joan Fabrics Corporation.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Mastercraft Fabrics, LLC, Andrew Major Plant,
including temporary workers of Manpower, Personnel Services
Unlimited and Coxe Personnel, Spindale, North Carolina who were
adversely affected by increased imports of jacquard furniture
fabrics.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,533 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Mastercraft Fabrics, LLC, Joan Fabrics
Corporation, Andrew Major Plant, including temporary
workers of Manpower, Personnel Services Unlimited and
Coxe Personnel, Spindale, North Carolina, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 2, 2002, through February 14, 2005, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 15th day of June 2004.

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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 9, 2003, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Mastercraft Fabrics, LLC, Spindale, North Carolina. The
workers produced jacquard furniture fabrics.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined in 2002 compared to 2001.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm’s major
customers reducing their purchases of jacquard fabrics during 2000,
2001 and 2002. The survey revealed that customers increased their
imports during the period under investigation while decreasing
purchases from the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with jacquard furniture fabrics
produced at Mastercraft Fabrics, LLC, Spindale, North Carolina
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of
workers and to the decline in sales or production at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Mastercraft Fabrics, LLC, and temporary
workers of Manpower, Personnel Services Unlimited, and Coxe
Personnel, Spindale, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 2,
2002, 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 14th day of February 2003.
