TEE TEASE, LLC.
COMMERCE, CALIFORNIA
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 December 31, 2001, and
filed on behalf of workers at Tee Tease, LLC., Commerce,
California. The workers produced tee shirts.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined absolutely at the subject firm during
January through April 2002 when compared to the same time frame
in 2001.
The company increased their imports of tee shirts during the
relevant period.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed on behalf of workers at Tee Tease, LLC., Commerce,
California (NAFTA-5848).
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 tee shirts, 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 Tee Tease, LLC., Commerce, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 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 7th day of November, 2002.
