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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 25, 2018 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Kayser-Roth Corporation, a subsidiary of GoldenPointe
SpA, including on-site leased workers from Right Time Right
Place Staffing and Metro Industrial Services, Dayton, Tennessee
(herein referred to as "Kayser-Roth"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of sheer hosiery
and tights.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, and the workers' firm's
primary declining customers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of sheer hosiery and tights by Kayser-Roth
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of sheer hosiery and tights like or directly
competitive with the hosiery and tights produced by Kayser-
Roth have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Kayser-Roth.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Kayser-Roth
Corporation, a subsidiary of GoldenPointe SpA, including on-site
leased workers from Right Time Right Place Staffing and Metro
Industrial Services, Dayton, Tennessee, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of sheer hosiery and tights
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 Kayser-Roth Corporation, a subsidiary of
GoldenPointe SpA, including on-site leased workers from
Right Time Right Place Staffing and Metro Industrial
Services, Dayton, Tennessee, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
21, 2017 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 October 2018.
