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 January 22, 2020 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of YS Industries LLC, Vernon,
California (YS Industries). The subject worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Anaya's Cutting Inc., Anaya Brothers
Cutting Inc., AppleOne Employment Services, California Apparel
Services Inc., Decton LI, Labornow Inc., and Simplified Staffing
Labor Solutions LLC. Workers of YS Industries are engaged in
activities related to the production of apparel (T-shirts).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in YS Industries 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 YS Industries
sales and/or production have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with those produced by YS
Industries have increased during the relevant period when
compared to the representative base period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased company imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at YS
Industries.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of YS Industries, Vernon,
California, 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 YS Industries LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Anaya's Cutting Inc., Anaya Brothers Cutting
Inc., AppleOne Employment Services, California Apparel
Services Inc., Decton LI, Labornow Inc., and Simplified
Staffing Labor Solutions LLC, Vernon, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 21, 2019 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 27th day of November 2020.
