LEON-FERENBACH, INC.
JOHNSON CITY, TENNESSEE
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 November 4, 2004 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Leon-Ferenbach, Inc., Johnson City, Tennessee. The
workers at the subject firm produce died yarn and are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that Leon-Ferenbach, Inc.,
Johnson City, Tennessee produces died yarn, and at least 20
percent of its production or sales is supplied to manufacturers
of hosiery whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
trade adjustment assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Leon-Ferenbach, Inc.,
Johnson City, Tennessee 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 Leon-Ferenbach, Inc., Johnson City, Tennessee
engaged in the production of died yarn, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 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."
