JAC ROSA FASHIONS, INC.
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
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 on August 20, 2001 in
response to a petition filed by the New York Apparel and Allied
Workers Joint Board, United Needletrades and Industrial Textile
Employees, Local 89-22-1, on behalf of workers at Jac Rosa
Fashions, Inc., Brooklyn, New York. The workers were engaged in
activity related to the production of ladies rainwear.
The investigation revealed that the subject company ceased
to operate in December 2000.
Aggregate data indicate that imports of ladies' rainwear
increased significantly in 2000 from 1999 levels.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Jac Rosa
Fashions, Inc., Brooklyn, New York, contributed importantly to
the decline in sales and 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 Jac Rosa Fashions, Inc., Brooklyn, New York,
engaged in the production of ladies rainwear, who are
partially or totally separated on or after July 31, 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 3rd day of May 2002.
