Negative Determination 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.
The investigation was initiated on March 10, 2005, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Ardmore Blouses, Inc.,
Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania (TA-W-56,736); and Ardmore Blouses, Inc.,
Wind Gap, Pennsylvania (TA-W-56,736A). Workers at the subject
facilities are engaged in the warehousing and shipping of clothes.
Ardmore Blouses has no domestic production facilities.
The investigation revealed that Ardmore Blouses does not
produce an article within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act. In order to be considered eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, the worker
group seeking certification (or on whose behalf certification is
being sought) must work for a "firm" or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article and there must be a relationship between
the workers' work and the article produced by the workers' firm or
appropriate subdivision. The workers of Ardmore Blouses, Inc., Pen
Argyl, Pennsylvania; and Ardmore Blouses, Inc., Wind Gap,
Pennsylvania do not support a firm or appropriate subdivision that
produces an article domestically and thus the worker group can not
be considered import impacted or affected by a shift in production
of an article.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of at at Ardmore
Blouses, Inc., Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania (TA-W-56,736); and Ardmore
Blouses, Inc., Wind Gap, Pennsylvania (TA-W-56,736A) are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 14th day of April 2005.
