ARROW HOME FASHIONS
DIVISION OF BCP HOME, Inc.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
ADECCO AND SELECT PERSONNEL
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA

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
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 30, 2007,
applicable to workers of Arrow Home Fashions, including on-site
leased workers of Adecco and Select Personnel, Anaheim,
California. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
December 11, 2007 (72 FR 70346).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in employment related to the production of bedding
products. New information shows that due to a change in
ownership in April 2008, BCP Home, Inc. is the parent firm of
Arrow Home Fashions. Workers separated from employment at the
subject firm had their wages reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Arrow Home Fashions,
Division of BCP Homes, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Arrow Home Fashions, Division of BCP Home, Inc.
Anaheim, California who were adversely affected by a shift in
production of bedding products to China.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,434 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Arrow Home Fashions, Division of BCP
Home, Inc., including on-site leased workers of Adecco
and Select Personnel, Anaheim, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 6, 2006, through November 30, 2009, 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.”

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA

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 November 8, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Arrow Home Fashions, Anaheim, California. The workers
produce bedding products. Leased workers of ADDECO and Select
Personnel are also employed at the site.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm anticipates a
shutdown of the Anaheim plant by the end of 2007.
The firm has shifted production to China and an increased
importation of bedding products has resulted.
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 determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to China of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Arrow Home Fashions, including leased workers
of Adecco and Select Personnel, Anaheim, California who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 6, 2006 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.”
