TRAVELER'S REST, SOUTH CAROLINA
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 October 14, 2005 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Kemco, Inc., Traveler's Rest, South Carolina. The
workers at the subject firm produce embroidery.
The investigation revealed that Kemco, Inc., Traveler's Rest,
South Carolina supplies components for fabric for sheeting and
bedding products, and at least 20 percent of its production or
sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose workers were certified
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of 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 Kemco, Inc., Traveler's Rest, South Carolina
who became totally separated from employment on October 13,
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."
