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 July 22, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Weave Corporation, Manufacturing Division, Denver,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,761), Temp Star, Weave Corporation,
Hackensack, New Jersey (TA-W-71,761B), Weave Corporation, New
York, New York (TA-W-71,761C). The workers of all three
divisions (Weave Corporation) are engaged in activities related
to the production of jacquard woven fabrics. The worker group
at Weave Corporation, Denver, Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,761)
includes on-site leased workers from Temp Star (TA-W-71,761A).
Workers of Weave Corporation, Denver, Pennsylvania were
previously certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TA-W-61,822). That certification expired on July
26, 2009 and did not include leased workers form Temp Star.
The investigation revealed that workers of Weave who are
engaged in employment related to jacquard woven fabrics meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have become totally or partially separated from
January through June 2009.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of jacquard woven fabrics by Weave
Corporation to China.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of jacquard woven fabrics to China contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Weave Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Weave Corporation,
Manufacturing Division, including on-site leased workers from
Temp Star, Denver, Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,761), Temp Star,
working on-site at Weave Corporation, Denver, Pennsylvania
(TA-W-71,761A), Weave Corporation, Hackensack, New Jersey (TA-
W-71,761B), Weave Corporation, New York, New York (TA-W-
71,761C), who are engaged in activities related to the
manufacturing and support services of manufacturing jacquard
woven fabrics 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 Weave Corporation, Manufacturing Division,
Denver, Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,761) who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 27,
2009, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on 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.
and
All leased workers from Temp Star working on-site at Weave
Corporation, Denver, Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,761A), Weave
Corporation, Hackensack, New Jersey (TA-W-71,761B), Weave
Corporation, New York, New York (TA-W-71,761C), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 15, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with


total or partial separation from employment on 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 30th day of September, 2009.
