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)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on May 3, 2005 in response to
a petition filed on behalf of workers at RADA, Inc., San Francisco,
California. The workers produced women's and girls sportswear
(i.e. bottoms (except skirts) and tops).
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that United States
aggregate imports of women's and girls' bottoms (except skirts) and
tops increased during the twelve month period ending March 2005
compared to the twelve month period ending March 2004. Also, the
ratio of U.S. imports to U.S. shipments of these products was well
over 100 percent during the relevant period under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports like or
directly competitive with women's and girls' bottoms and tops
produced at RADA, Inc., San Francisco, California contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of RADA, Inc., San Francisco, California who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 22, 2004 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 13th day of June, 2005.
