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 January 15, 2019, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of PVH Neckwear, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of PVH Corp., including on-site leased workers from
Reliable Resources, Inc., Los Angeles, California ("PVH
Neckwear"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of neckwear.
The worker group was involved in a previous Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) determination under petition number
TA-W-94,460. That investigation was terminated on January 18,
2019 due to the on-going investigation under TA-W-94,459.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at PVH Neckwear.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of PVH Neckwear, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of PVH Corp., including on-site leased
workers from Reliable Resources, Inc., Los Angeles,
California, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of neckwear 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 PVH Neckwear, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of PVH Corp., including on-site leased workers
from Reliable Resources, Inc., Los Angeles, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after January 14, 2018, 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 20th day of February 2019.
