INCLUDING WORKERS WHOSE WAGES WERE REPORTED UNDER
OASIS OUTSOURCING
NEW YORK, NEW YORK

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 July 23, 2019 by three workers on behalf of workers of
The Worth Collection, Ltd., including workers whose wages were
reported under Oasis Outsourcing, New York, New York (herein
referred to as "The Worth Collection, Ltd."). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of design,
merchandise, and clothing sales. Additionally, the worker group
is engaged in patternmaking services and fabric and trim
development.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in The Worth Collection,
Ltd. 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 services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker separations at
The Worth Collection, Ltd.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Worth Collection,
Ltd., including workers whose wages were reported under Oasis
Outsourcing, New York, New York, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of design, merchandise, clothing sales,
patternmaking services and fabric and trim development, 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 The Worth Collection, Ltd., including
workers whose wages were reported under Oasis Outsourcing,
New York, New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 20, 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 30th day of September 2019.
