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. (Set forth in 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 January 13, 2011 on by a company official behalf of
workers of Alstyle Apparel, a subsidiary of Ennis, Inc., Anaheim,
California (Alstyle Anaheim). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of t-shirts.
The investigation revealed that workers of Alstyle Anaheim,
who are engaged in activities related to production of t-shirts,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated or are threatened with total or partial separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of t-shirts by Alstyle Anaheim to a foreign
country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production of
t-shirts by Alstyle Anaheim contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Alstyle Anaheim.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Alstyle Apparel, a
subsidiary of Ennis, Inc., Anaheim, California, who are engaged in
activities related to production of t-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 Alstyle Apparel, a subsidiary of Ennis, Inc.,
Anaheim, California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 12, 2010, 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 16th day of February, 2011
