DENIM PROCESSING, INC.
ONEIDA, TENNESSEE
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 eli-
gibility 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 June 24, 2002, filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Denim Processing, Inc., Oneida, Tennessee. The workers
produced finished blue jeans.
Investigation findings revealed that the subject plant
experienced declines in sales, production and employment.
The investigation also showed that a major customer of the
subject firm has increased its imports of finished blue jeans.
A petition for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance has
been filed on behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA-6254).
A determination on that petition will be made concurrently with
this determination.
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 Denim Processing, Inc.,
Oneida, Tennessee, 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 Denim Processing, Inc., Oneida,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 31, 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 22nd day of October 2002.
