LADY HOPE DRESS
KULPMONT, PENNSYLVANIA
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 May 7, 2001, and filed on
behalf of workers at Lady Hope Dress, Kulpmont, Pennsylvania.
The workers produced dresses.
This investigation revealed that production and employment
at the subject firm declined during the relevant periods.
Aggregate United States imports of women's and girls'
dresses increased in the twelve months ending September 2000,
compared to the same period one year earlier. The ratio of
imports to shipments of women's and girls' dresses exceeded 120
percent in 1999.
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 dresses produced at Lady Hope Dress,
Kulpmont, Pennsylvania, contributed importantly to the decline in
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of
workers of the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Lady Hope Dress, Kulpmont, Pennsylvania who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 17, 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 7th day of June, 2001.
