RUNNERLESS KNITS, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ONESOURCE STAFFING
SUNBURY, PENNSYLVANIA

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), 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 December 26, 2007 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Runnerless Knits, Inc.,
Sunbury, Pennsylvania. The workers produce women's swimsuit lining.
The investigation revealed that Runnerless Knits, Inc. supplied
component parts considered an integral part of the final product,
swimsuits, 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.
In addition, 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 workers of Runnerless Knits, Inc., Sunbury,
Pennsylvania, 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 Runnerless Knits, Inc., including leased workers
from OneSource Staffing, Sunbury, Pennsylvania who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after December 20,
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."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 13th day of February 2008
