Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated on August 28, 2000 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Playtex
Apparel, Incorporated, Newnan, Georgia. The workers produce
ladies' intimate apparel.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased during the period under investigation.
The investigation also revealed that the parent company of
the subject company shifted its production of ladies' intimate
apparel abroad. Company imports increased in the relevant period
causing separations at the subject plant.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like
or directly competitive with ladies' intimate apparel at Playtex
Apparel, Incorporated, Newnan, Georgia, contributed importantly
to the decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Playtex Apparel, Incorporated, Newnan,
Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from em-
ployment on or after August 18, 1999, through two years from
the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjust-
ment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 11th day of October, 2000.
