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 November 23, 2016 on behalf of workers of Holloway
Sportswear, Inc., a subsidiary of Augusta Sportswear, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Staffmark, Sidney, Ohio
(Holloway). The workers of Holloway are engaged in activities
related to the supply of planning, design, procurement, decorating
and distribution services.
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 in Holloway 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 supply of services like or
directly competitive with the planning, design, procurement,
decorating and distribution services supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Holloway.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Holloway, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of planning, design,
procurement, decorating and distribution 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 Holloway Sportswear, Inc., a subsidiary of
Augusta Sportswear, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Staffmark, Sidney, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 22, 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 18th day of January 2017.
