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 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 January 20, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Acme-McCrary Corporation, Asheboro, North Carolina
(TA-W-75,119) and Siler City, North Carolina (TA-W-75,119A),
(collectively referred hereafter as "Acme"). The workers are
engaged in employment related to the production of hosiery
products. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Express Employment Professionals at 159 North
Street and 601 E. Pritchard Street, Asheboro, North Carolina.
Workers of Acme-McCrary Corporation, Asheboro, North
Carolina, were eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
under TA-W-64,312, which expired on December 9, 2010.
The investigation revealed that workers of Acme, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of hosiery
products, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers at Acme has been totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because Acme has shifted to a
foreign country the production of articles like or directly
competitive with the hosiery produced by the subject workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Honduras contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Asheboro, North Carolina and Siler City,
North Carolina facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Acme-McCrary
Corporation, Asheboro, North Carolina and Siler City, North
Carolina, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of hosiery products, 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 certifications:
"All workers of Acme-McCrary Corporation, 159 North Street
and 601 E. Pritchard Street, including on-site leased
workers of Express Employment Professionals, Asheboro,
North Carolina (TA-W-75,119), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December
10, 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"; and
"All workers of Acme-McCrary Corporation, Siler City, North
Carolina (TA-W-75,119A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 19, 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."
