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 June 18, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers and former workers of Georgica Pine Clothiers, LLC, a
subsidiary of Sea Island Clothiers, LLC, Brooklyn, New York
(Georgica Pine Clothiers). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of clothing and related
accessories as well as the supply of related support services,
such as design, development, and warehousing. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from BAPA Enterprises, LLC,
Atrium Staffing, Michael Page, and WinterWyman.
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 Georgica Pine Clothiers
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 acquired from a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the clothing and
related accessories produced by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Georgica Pine
Clothiers.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Georgica Pine
Clothiers, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of clothing and related accessories, 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 Georgica Pine Clothiers, LLC, a subsidiary
of Sea Island Clothiers, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from BAPA Enterprises, LLC, Atrium Staffing,
Michael Page, and WinterWyman, Brooklyn, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 17, 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 18th day of August 2020.
