STEELE APPAREL, INC.
KILMICHAEL, MISSISSIPPI
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
eligibility 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 in response to a petition
received on March 5, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at Steele
Apparel, Inc., Kilmichael, Mississippi. The workers produce career
apparel.
This investigation revealed that the subject firm has
increased its reliance on imported career apparel while reducing
employment and production levels at Kilmichael, Mississippi.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with career apparel produced by Steele
Apparel, Inc., Kilmichael, Mississippi 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 Steele Apparel, Inc., Kilmichael, Mississippi,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after February 9, 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."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 16th day of March, 2001.
