AUBURN HOSIERY MILLS, INC.
CURRENTLY KNOWN AS DELTA GALIL
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
QUALITY PERSONNEL
AUBURN, KENTUCKY
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on July 8, 2009, applicable to workers of Auburn Hosiery
Mills, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Quality
Personnel, Auburn, Kentucky. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on August 19, 2009 (74 FR 41933).
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 distribution, administration and
quality control services related to apparel.
Information shows that Auburn Hosiery Mills was merged into
its parent company, Delta Galil on January 1, 2010 and is now known
as Delta Galil. Some of the workers separated from employment at
the subject firm had their wages reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account under the name of Delta
Galil.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by the
shift in distribution, administration and quality control services
to Bangladesh and China.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,321 is hereby issued
as follows:
“All workers of Auburn Hosiery Mills, Inc., Delta Galil,
including on-site leased workers from Quality Personnel,
Auburn, Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 18, 2008, through July 8,
2011, and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended.”

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm must
have become totally or partially separated or be threatened
with total or partial separation.
II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:
(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers’ firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or supply
of services like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers’ firm; or
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign country
by the workers’ firm of articles/services that are like
or directly competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers’ firm.
III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must
have contributed importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation. See Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 19, 2009 on behalf of workers of Auburn Hosiery
Mills, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Quality
Personnel, Auburn, Kentucky (referred to as the Auburn Facility).
The workers provide distribution, administration and quality
control services related to apparel imported for customers by the
subject firm.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Auburn
Facility who are engaged in employment related to the
distribution, administration and quality control services for
imported apparel meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
workers has been separated and the firm plans for further
separations.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the worker’s firm is
shifting to a foreign country services that are like or directly
competitive with the services provided by the workers at the
Auburn facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
distribution, administration and quality control services to
Bangladesh and China by Auburn Hosiery Mills has contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the Auburn
Facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Auburn Hosiery Mills,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Quality Personnel,
Auburn, Kentucky, who are engaged in providing distribution,
administration and quality control services related to imported
apparel, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section
223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
“All workers of Auburn Hosiery Mills, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Quality Personnel, Auburn, Kentucky, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 18, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended.”
