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 adjustment assistance,
the group eligibility requirements under Section 222(b) must be
met. It has been determined in this case that the requirements of
Section 222(b) are met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on March 27, 2003 and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Allen Everitt Knitting Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The workers produced knit hats, scarves and gloves.
Sales, production and employment at the subject firm declined
in 2002 over the 2001 period.
The investigation revealed that the company increased their
imports of knitted hats, scarves and gloves during the relevant
time period.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with sewn upholstered parts produced
at Allen Everitt Knitting Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production and at that firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Allen Everitt Knitting Company, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 18, 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 7th day of April, 2003.
