TA-W-73,698

HOLLOWAY SPORTSWEAR, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
STAFFMARK, INC. AND SECURITAS SECURITY SERVICE USA
JACKSON CENTER, OHIO

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 September 22, 2010, applicable to workers of
Holloway Sportswear, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Staffmark, Inc., Jackson Center, Ohio. The workers are engaged
in employment related to the manufacturing of varsity letter
(award) jackets and sportswear. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on October 8, 2010 (75 FR 62426).
At the request of a State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The company
reports that workers leased from Securitas Security Service USA
were employed on-site at the Jackson Center, Ohio location of
Holloway Sportswear, Inc. The Department has determined that
these workers were sufficiently under the control of Holloway
Sportswear, Inc. to be considered leased workers.



Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Securitas Security
Service USA working on-site at the Jackson Center, Ohio location
of Holloway Sportswear, Inc.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,698 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Holloway Sportswear, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Staffmark, Inc., and
Securitas Security Service USA, Jackson Center, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 1, 2009 through September
22, 2012, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 26th day of October 2011.

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 12, 2010 by three workers on behalf of the workers
of Holloway Sportswear, Inc., Jackson Center, Ohio. The workers
are engaged in employment related to the manufacturing of varsity
letter (award) jackets and sportswear. The workers are not
separately identifiable by article produced. The worker group
also includes on-site leased workers from Staffmark, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Holloway
Sportswear, Inc, Jackson Center, Ohio who are engaged in
employment related to varsity letter (award) jackets meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
workers at Holloway Sportswear, Inc, Jackson Center, Ohio, have
been separated or are threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Holloway Sportswear,
Inc, Jackson Center, Ohio, has shifted to a foreign country the
production of an article or supply of a service like or directly
competitive with the article produced by the workers.


Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
varsity letter (award) jackets from Mexico by Holloway
Sportswear, Inc., Jackson Center, Ohio, contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Holloway Sportswear.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Holloway Sportswear,
Inc., including on-site workers from Staffmark, Inc., Jackson
Center, Ohio, who are engaged in employment related to varsity
letter (award) jackets and sportswear 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 Holloway Sportswear Inc, including on-site
workers from Staffmark, Inc., Jackson Center, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 1, 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.”
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of September, 2010
