MARION, SOUTH CAROLINA
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 7, 2006,
applicable to workers of Hanesbrands, Inc., Marion, South
Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
November 28, 2006 (71 FR 68844).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of hosiery.
The Department inadvertently omitted in this certification that
the firm was formerly known as Sara Lee Branded Apparel.
Specifically, the State reports that the workers wages were
reported under the Federal Employment Identification Number
(FEIN) for Sara Lee Corporation, Trading As L’eggs Products
Marion Plant.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
include workers whose wages were reported under the FEIN for Sara
Lee.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,266 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Hanesbrands, Inc., formerly known as Sara Lee
Corporation, Trading As L’eggs Products Marion Plant, Marion,
South Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 13, 2005 through November 7,
2008, 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.”

Certification 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.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 19, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hanesbrands, Inc., Marion, South Carolina and Lumberton,
North Carolina. The workers produce fabrics and hosiery.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at the
subject facilities are related to a shift in production of fabric
and hosiery to countries named as beneficiaries under the Caribbean
Basin Economic Recovery Act.
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.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers’ firm or subdivision to Honduras, Guatemala, and El
Salvador, of articles that are like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Hanesbrands, Inc., Marion, South Carolina and
Lumberton, North Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 13, 2005 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.”
