DEVANT LTD.
MONROE, NORTH CAROLINA
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 18, 2002 and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Devant, Ltd., Monroe, North Carolina. The workers
produce screen printed, embroidered, and woven towels for the golf
and sporting goods industry.
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that the subject firm
increased imports of towels during the relevant period.
A petition for eligibility to apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance has been filed by the company on behalf of
workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-5921).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with the towels produced by Devant,
Ltd., Monroe, 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 Devant, Ltd., Monroe, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 19, 2001 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 15th day of July, 2002.
