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 February 4, 2002, and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at the Sew Special, Inc., Asheboro and Randleman, North
Carolina. The workers produce men's and ladies' sportswear.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at both of the subject firm plants declined absolutely
from 2000 to 2001.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that there were
substantial and increasing United States aggregate imports of men's
and ladies' sportswear during the period under investigation.
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 Sew Special,
Inc., Asheboro and Randleman, North Carolina, 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 Sew Special, Inc., Asheboro, North Carolina
(TA-W-40,760) and Randleman, North Carolina (TA-W-40,760A),
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after October 30, 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 17th day of May, 2002.
