Determinations Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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.
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.
The investigation was initiated on October 13, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also known as ComputerNet Resource
Group (CRG), working at Burlington Industries, LLC, also known as
International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), Hurt, Virginia (TA-W-
58,121); workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also known as ComputerNet
Resource Group (CRG), working at Burlington Industries, LLC, also
known as International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), Greensboro, North
Carolina (TA-W-58,121A); and workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also
known as ComputerNet Resource Group (CRG), working at Burlington
Industries, LLC, also known as International Textile Group, Inc.
(ITG), Stonewall, Mississippi (TA-W-58,121B). The workers provide
information technology, human resources, and administrative/
supervisory support functions for manufacturing by an unaffiliated
firm, Burlington Industries, LLC.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of
(a)(2)(A) of Section 222 have been met for workers of ComputerNet,
Inc., also known as ComputerNet Resource Group (CRG), working on-
site at Burlington Industries, LLC, also known as International
Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), Hurt, Virginia (TA-W-58,121), and
workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also known as ComputerNet Resource
Group (CRG), working on-site at the Burlington Industries, LLC,
also known as International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), headquarters
in Greensboro, North Carolina (TA-W-58,121A).
The investigation revealed that ComputerNet, Inc., also known
as ComputerNet Resource Group (CRG) located in High Point, North
Carolina, were leased to Burlington Industries, LLC, also known as
International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), from 2003 to 2005.
Workers were contracted to provide information technology, human
resources, and administrative/supervisory support for the
Burlington Industries manufacturing facility in Hurt, Virginia and
the Burlington Industries headquarters in Greensboro, North
Carolina.
Workers of Burlington Industries, LLC, also known as
International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), Hurt, Virginia were
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance under
petition number TA-W-54,921, which expires on July 1, 2006.
The Department conducted further investigation to determine if
import impact continued to exist at the Burlington Industries, LLC
plant in Hurt, North Carolina.
The investigation revealed that sales and production of
broadwoven fabrics (wool, polyester & poly/wool blended) by
Burlington Industries, LLC, Hurt, Virginia decreased from 2003 to
2004 as well as during the period of January through September 2005
when compared to the same period in 2004.
The investigation further revealed that imports of broadwoven
fabrics by Burlington Industries, LLC, increased during the period
of January through September 2005 when compared to the same period
in 2004.
The investigation revealed that the ComputerNet, Inc. worker
separations at the Burlington Industries plant in Hurt, Virginia,
and the Burlington Industries headquarters in Greensboro, North
Carolina are attributable to the increased imports of fabrics like
or directly competitive with the broad woven fabrics produced by
Burlington Industries, LLC.
With respect to workers of ComputerNet, Inc., in Stonewall,
Mississippi, the investigation determined that the Burlington
Industries, LLC, also known as International Textile Group, Inc.
(ITG), Stonewall, Mississippi (TA-W-58,121B) plant closed in 2002.
Consequently, workers of ComputerNet, Inc. in Stonewall,
Mississippi, cannot be certified eligible for trade adjustment
assistance. One employee of ComputerNet in Mississippi, was
working from home. In order for leased workers in support of a
manufacturing firm to be certified eligible to apply for TAA the
workers must be working on-site at a facility whose workers have
been certified or could be certified eligible to apply for trade
adjustment assistance.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met for workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also known as
ComputerNet Resource Group (CRG), working at Burlington Industries,
LLC, also known as International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), Hurt,
Virginia (TA-W-58,121), and workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also
known as ComputerNet Resource Group (CRG), working at Burlington
Industries, LLC, also known as International Textile Group, Inc.
(ITG), Greensboro, North Carolina (TA-W-58,121A).
A significant number of workers at these facilities are age 50
or over and do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Since workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also known as ComputerNet
Resource Group (CRG), workers at Burlington Industries, LLC, also
known as International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), in Stonewall,
Mississippi (TA-W-58,121B), are not certified eligible to apply
for trade adjustment assistance, they cannot be certified eligible
to apply for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with broadwoven fabrics (wool,
polyester & poly/wool blended) produced by Burlington Industries,
LLC, Hurt, Virginia, 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:
"Workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also known as ComputerNet
Resource Group (CRG), working on-site at Burlington
Industries, LLC, also known as International Textile Group,
Inc. (ITG), Hurt, Virginia (TA-W-58,121), and workers of
ComputerNet, Inc., also known as ComputerNet Resource Group
(CRG), working on-site at Burlington Industries, LLC, also
known as International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG), Greensboro,
North Carolina (TA-W-58,121A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 10, 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, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974;" and



I further determine that workers of ComputerNet, Inc., also
known as ComputerNet Resource Group (CRG), working at Burlington
Industries, LLC, also known as International Textile Group, Inc.
(ITG), Stonewall, Mississippi (TA-W-58,121B), are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
