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 June 25, 2010, applicable to workers of
WestPoint Home, Inc., New York Corporate Sales Office, New York,
New York. The Department’s Notice was published in the Federal
Register on July 7, 2010 (75 FR 39048).
At the request of the State of New York, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the supply of
administrative and managerial services for WestPoint Home, Inc.
New information shows that worker separations have occurred
involving employees under the control of the New York, New York
location of WestPoint Home, Inc., New York Corporate Sales
Office, working off-site in Illinois, Georgia, Minnesota,
Indiana, and North Carolina. Information also shows that worker
separations occurred at satellite offices of the subject firm:
Plano, Texas; Daleville, Indiana; Rogers, Arkansas; and Winston-
Salem, North Carolina. These workers are engaged in employment
related to the supply of administrative and managerial services
for WestPoint Home, Inc.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include employees of the New York, New York
facility of the subject firm working off-site in Illinois,
Georgia, Minnesota, Indiana, North Carolina, Texas, and
Arkansas, as well as workers in Sales Offices in Plano, Texas,
Daleville, Indiana, Rogers, Arkansas, and Winston-Salem, North
Carolina.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who are adversely affected by
the shift by the subject firm in the supply of administrative
and managerial services to China, Pakistan, India and Bahrain.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,218 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of WestPoint Home, Inc., New York Corporate
Sales Office, New York, New York, including employees
working off-site in Illinois, Georgia, Minnesota, Indiana,
and North Carolina (TA-W-74,218), and WestPoint Home, Inc.,
Plano, Texas Sales Office, Plano, Texas (TA-W-74,218A),
Daleville, Indiana Sales Office, Daleville, Indiana (TA-W-
74,218B), Rogers, Arkansas Sales Office, Rogers, Arkansas
(TA-W-74,218C), and Winston-Salem Sales Office, Winston-
Salem, North Carolina (TA-W-74,218D), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 1,
2010 through June 25, 2012, 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 11th day of May, 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 June 10, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of WestPoint Home, Inc., New York Corporate Sales
Office, New York, New York (New York Corporate Sales Office).
The workers are engaged in employed related to the supply of
administrative and managerial services for WestPoint Home,
Inc. and are not separately identifiable by service supplied.
Workers of the subject firm were previously certified
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TA-W-63,571;
expired June 30, 2010).
The investigation revealed that workers of the New York
Corporate Sales Office, who are engaged in employment related
to the supply of administrative and managerial services, meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at the New York Corporate Sales Office has
been totally or partially separated, or are threatened with
such separation.
Criterion II has been met because WestPoint Home, Inc. has
shifted to foreign countries the supply of administrative and
managerial services (or like or directly competitive
services).
Criterion III has been met because the shift of the
supply of services to China, Pakistan, India and Bahrain
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the New
York Corporate Sales Office.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of WestPoint Home, Inc.,
New York Corporate Sales Office, New York, New York, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of administrative
and managerial services, 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 WestPoint Home, Inc., New York Corporate
Sales Office, New York, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 1,
2010, 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.”
