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 August 6, 2001, and filed
by the company on behalf of workers at Delta Apparel, Washington,
Georgia. The workers produce t-shirts.
This investigation revealed that production and employment
at the subject firm declined during the relevant periods.
Aggregate United States imports of men's and boys' shirts
have increased in each year since 1996. The ratio of imports to
shipments of men's and boys' shirts exceeded 180 percent in 1999.
Imports of shirts increased yet again in 2000. Among women's and
girls' shirts, similar trends prevail.
This worker group was previously certified under
TA-W-34,923, which expired September 3, 2000.
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 t-shirts produced at Delta Apparel,
Washington, Georgia, 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 Delta Apparel, Washington, Georgia who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 4, 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 29th day of August, 2001.
