MILLANWOOD, INC.
BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA
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 in response to a petition received on December 11, 2003 and filed by WIA Career Facilitator on behalf of workers at Millanwood, Inc., Barnesville, Georgia. The workers were engaged in employment related to the production of tablecloths, napkins, aprons and hospital gowns.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject plant is related to a shift in plant production of tablecloths, napkins, aprons and hospital gowns 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 of production from the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles 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 Millanwood, Inc., Barnesville, Georgia engaged in employment related to the production of tablecloths, napkins, aprons and hospital gowns, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 9, 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 12th day of January, 2004.
