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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on April 22, 2003 in response to a petition filed on
behalf of workers of Greensboro Apparel, Inc., Greensboro, Alabama.
The workers are an upstream supplier providing cut and sew services
of sweat pants, sweat shirts and tee-shirts.
The investigation revealed that Greensboro Apparel, Inc.,
Greensboro, Alabama supplies component cut and sew services for
sweat pants, sweat shirts, and tee-shirts and at least 20 percent
of its production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose
workers were certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment
assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Greensboro Apparel,
Inc., Greensboro, Alabama, qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Greensboro Apparel, Inc., Greensboro, Alabama
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 21, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 12th day of June 2003.
