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 that all of the requirements
have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on January 18, 2001, filed on behalf of workers at Tee
Jays Manufacturing Co., Inc., Florence, Alabama (Plants
1,5,6,14,15, and 16) and Elgin, Alabama (Plant 9). The workers
are engaged in the production of tee shirts and sweat shirts. In
Florence, Alabama, petitioning plants include Plant 1 (sewing and
cutting), Plant 5 (warehousing and administration), Plant 6
(sewing), Plant 14 (dyeing and sewing), Plant 15 (warehousing)
and Plant 16 (sewing). In Elgin, the petitioning facility is
Plant 9 (sewing).
Investigation findings revealed that production and
employment at the Florence and Elgin, Alabama facilities have
declined during the relevant period. The company has increased
its imports of tee shirts and sweat shirts, causing separations
at the subject plants.
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 tee shirts and sweat shirts
manufactured at Tee Jays Manufacturing Co., Inc., Florence and
Elgin, Alabama, contributed importantly 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 Tee Jays Manufacturing Co., Inc., Florence,
Alabama (Plants 1,5,6,14,15 and 16) and Elgin, Alabama
(Plant 9), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 3, 2000, through two years
from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."
