FRUIT OF THE LOOM, INC.
JAMESTOWN, KENTUCKY
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 March 5, 2002, and filed
on behalf of workers at Fruit of the Loom, Inc., Jamestown,
Kentucky. The workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of apparel such as men's, women's, boy's and girls
underwear, sweatshirts, sweatpants, t-shirts, army briefs and t-
shirts.
This investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined at the subject plant during the relevant
periods.
The company increased their imports of apparel during the
relevant period.
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 apparel produced at Fruit of the Loom,
Inc., Jamestown, Kentucky, 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 Fruit of the Loom, Inc., Jamestown,
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 21, 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 in Washington, D. C. this 20th day of May, 2002.
