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 an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 26, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Orion Sewing Company,
San Francisco, California. The workers at the subject facility were
engaged in the sewing of ladies' wear.
The investigation revealed that Orion Sewing Company, San
Francisco, California supplied component parts for the production
of ladies' wear and a loss of business with a manufacturer (whose
workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance)
contributed importantly to the workers separation or threat of
separation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Orion Sewing Company,
San Francisco, California qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Orion Sewing Company, San Francisco,
California who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 29, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 12th day of November, 2004.
