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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 28, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of LDLA Holdings LLC, Division of Garment Sample
Coordinators, Los Angeles, California (LDLA Holdings-Garment
Sample Coordinators). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of garments. The workers are not
separately identifiable by article produced. The worker group
does not include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at LDLA Holdings-Garment Sample
Coordinators have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
LDLA Holdings-Garment Sample Coordinators.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LDLA Holdings LLC,
Division of Garment Sample Coordinators, Los Angeles, California,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
garments, 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 LDLA Holdings LLC, Division of Garment Sample
Coordinators, Los Angeles, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September 27,
2015, 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 30th day of December 2016.
