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 May 19, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers
at J.C. Viramontes, Inc., d/b/a International Garment
Processors, El Paso, Texas. The workers produce denim garments.
The investigation revealed employment declines at the
subject company and that the subject company shifted production
to Mexico.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico 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 J.C. Viramontes, Inc., d/b/a International
Garment Processors, El Paso, Texas who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 30,
2003 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 3rd day of June 2003.
