TA-W-38,276
COACH
A SUBSIDIARY OF SARA LEE CORPORATION
MEDLEY, FLORIDA


Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the U.S. Department Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on December
4, 2000 applicable to workers of Coach, Medley, Florida. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2000
(65 FR 80458).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
provided by the State shows that Coach is a subsidiary of Sara
Lee Corporation. Some workers at the subject firms' Medley,
Florida facility have had their wages reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Sara Lee Corporation.
The workers were engaged in the production of leather handbags
and accessories.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Coach who were adversely affected by increased
imports.
 The amended notice applicable to TA-W-38,276 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Coach, a subsidiary of Sara Lee Corporation,
Medley, Florida, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 24, 1999 through
December 4, 2002 are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington D.C. this 7th day of February, 2001.
