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 September 10, 2001 in response to a petition filed on behalf of all workers at Fishman & Tobin, Inc., Cutting Department, Medley, Florida. The workers were engaged in employment related to the production of men's and children's pants and tops.
The investigation revealed that production and employment decreased during the period under investigation. The plant closed in June 2001.
Company imports of men's and children's pants and tops increased in the relevant period.
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 men's and children's pants and tops produced at Fishman & Tobin, Inc., Cutting Department, Medley, Florida, 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 Fishman & Tobin, Inc., Cutting Department, Medley, Florida, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 16, 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 30th day of October, 2001.
