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 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 December 11, 2003, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at the William
Carter Company, Material Utilization Department, Carver Road
Plant, Griffin, Georgia. The workers make markers used in the
production of children's and infants' wear.
The decline in employment at the subject plant is related to
a shift in plant production of markers used in the production of
children's and infants' wear 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 the William Carter Company, Material
Utilization Department, Carver Road Plant, Griffin,
Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 28, 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 16th day of January, 2004.
