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 in response to a petition
received on December 31, 2001, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Lea-Wayne Knitting Mills, Inc., Morristown,
Tennessee. The workers produced socks and other hosiery.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined absolutely during the
relevant period.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that there were
substantial United States aggregate imports of socks and other
hosiery during the relevant period.
A petition for eligibility to apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance has been filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-5542).
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 the subject
firm 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 Lea-Wayne Knitting Mills, Inc., Morristown,
Tennessee engaged in employment related to the production of
socks and other hosiery, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 9, 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 at Washington, D.C., this 30th day of April, 2002.
