FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS
Negative Determination 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on July 30, 2001 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
J & R Patterns, Inc., Fall River, Massachusetts. The workers
produce cutting of sportswear apparel for women and children.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
J & R Patterns, Inc. does not import products produced at
its Fall River plant.
The Department of Labor attempted to survey the major
customers of the subject firm regarding their purchases of
contract cutting of sportswear apparel for women and children.
The subject firm's customers have not made purchases from the
subject firm since 1999.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of J&R
Patterns, Inc., Fall River, Massachusetts, are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 18th day of March, 2002.
