GREAT AMERICAN KNITTING MILLS, INC.
BALLY, PENNSYLVANIA
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 March 11, 2002, filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Great American Knitting Mills, Inc., Bally,
Pennsylvania. The workers produced men's and women's socks.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production, and levels of
employment.
The subject firm has increased its imports of men's and
women's socks during the past year.
A previous certification for the subject facility (TA-W-
37,468) expired on April 17, 2002.
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 those produced by Great American
Knitting Mills, Inc., Bally, Pennsylvania, contributed
importantly to the decline in sales and 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 at Great American Knitting Mills, Inc.,
Bally, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 18, 2002,
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 4th day of June 2002.
