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 March 3, 2010 on behalf of workers of Weiman/Preview,
a division of Interlude Furniture, LLC, Christiansburg,
Virginia. The workers produced upholstered furniture. Workers
of Weiman/Preview were covered by certification number TA-W-
62,128 that expired on October 29, 2009.
The investigation revealed that workers of Weiman/Preview,
who are engaged in employment related to production of
upholstered furniture, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
in production by Weiman/Preview to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with the upholstered
furniture produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production contributed importantly to the worker group
separations at the Christiansburg, Virginia facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Weiman/Preview, a
division of Interlude Furniture, LLC, Christiansburg,
Virginia, who are engaged in employment related to production of
upholstered furniture 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 Weiman/Preview, a division of Interlude
Furniture, LLC, Christiansburg, Virginia, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 30, 2009, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 20th day of July, 2010
