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 November 2, 2005 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Guilford
Mills, Inc., Automotive Division, Kenansville, North Carolina. The
workers produce automotive textile fabrics.
The investigation revealed that the subject facility supplies
components for automotive headliners, 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 Guilford Mills, Inc.,
Automotive Division, Kenansville, North Carolina 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 Guilford Mills, Inc., Automotive Division,
Kenansville, North Carolina who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 29, 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."
