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 on March 28, 2003, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Trade Wind Apparel,
Inc., Commerce, Georgia. The workers were engaged in employment
related to the production of men's pants (cutting).
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in plant production of men's pants
(cutting) to a country (Dominican Republic) that is a beneficiary
country under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act with the
United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there were layoffs and a shift in
production from the subject firm to Dominican Republic of articles
that are like or directly competitive with the cutting of men's
pants produced by the subject firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Trade Wind Apparel, Inc., Commerce, Georgia
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after March 26, 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."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 22nd day of April, 2003.
