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 December 4, 2009 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Harkham Industries, Inc., d/b/a Jonathan
Martin, Los Angeles, California (hereinafter referred to as
Jonathan Martin). The workers of Jonathan Martin supply design
and development services for blouses and shirts.
The investigation revealed that workers of Jonathan Martin,
who supply design and development services for blouses and
shirts, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at the workers firm has been separated during
the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
directly competitive with the services supplies by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of design
and development services for blouses and shirts to China by
Jonathan Martin contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Los Angeles, California facility.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Harkham Industries,
Inc., d/b/a Jonathan Martin, Los Angeles, California, who
supply design and development services for blouses and shirts,
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 Harkham Industries, Inc., d/b/a Jonathan
Martin, Los Angeles, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 2,
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 2nd day of July, 2010.
