DAVE GOLDBERG, INC.
LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK
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 on April 29, 2002, in
response to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers
at Dave Goldberg, Inc., Long Island City, New York. The workers
were engaged in the production of swimwear.
Sales, production and employment at the subject firm
declined during the relevant period.
The company increased imports of swimwear from 2001 until
they went out of business in April 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 swimwear produced at Dave Goldberg,
Inc., Long Island City, New York, 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 Dave Goldberg, Inc., Long Island City, New
York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 18, 2001, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974."
