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 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 July 2, 2003 in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Neuville Industries, Inc., Athens Division, Athens, Tennessee.
The workers at the subject firm produce socks.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
firm declined from 2001 to 2002.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject firm is related to a shift in a portion of the plant
production of socks to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a
free trade agreement with the United States.
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 Neuville Industries, Inc., Athens Division,
Athens, Tennessee who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 1, 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 July 2003.
