SATILLA MANUFACTURING INCORPORATED
BLACKSHEAR, GEORGIA
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 in response to a petition
received on September 28, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at
Satilla Manufacturing Inc., Blackshear, Georgia. The workers
produced men's jackets.
The investigation revealed that jackets produced by Satilla
Manufacturing Inc. are marketed through normal retail channels.
Thus, the articles manufactured by the subject firm have been
impacted importantly by the high penetration of imports into this
market.
U.S. imports of men's and boys' coats and jackets increased
absolutely in 2000 compared to 1999. In 1999, the ratio of imports
to domestic shipments was more than 410%.
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 jackets produced at Satilla Manufacturing
Inc., Blackshear, Georgia, 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 Satilla Manufacturing Inc., Blackshear,
Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 14, 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 20th day of February, 2002
