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 February 17, 2004 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers at S&R Products, LLC., d/b/a Summit Sportswear,
Santa Ana, California. The workers produce tee shirts.
Employment at the subject facility declined in 2003 and in the
first two months of 2004. The subject firm is shifting a portion
of production of tee shirts at the Santa Ana facility 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 conclude 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 S&R Products, LLC., d/b/a Summit Sportswear,
Santa Ana, California who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 13, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 1st day of March 2004
