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 June 8, 2005 in response to
a petition filed on behalf of workers of Haggar Clothing Company, a
division of the Haggar Corporation, Sourcing Division, Weslaco
Materials Warehouse, Weslaco, Texas. The workers were engaged in
distribution services. More specifically, the workers warehoused
raw materials used in the production of clothing at foreign
facilities.
The investigation revealed that the subject facility 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 petitioning workers 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 Haggar Clothing
Company, a division of the Haggar Corporation, Sourcing Division,
Weslaco Materials Warehouse, Weslaco, Texas are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 11th day of July 2005.
