GLEN OAKS INDUSTRIES, INC.
DALLAS, TEXAS
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on August
29, 2002, applicable to workers of Glen Oaks Industries, Marietta
Sportswear Manufacturing Company, Inc., Dallas, Texas. The
certification was amended on September 25, 2002, to include
workers formerly employed at Marietta Sportswear Manufacturing
Co., Inc., Marietta, Oklahoma. The notice will soon be published
in the Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information provided by the company official shows that wages for
the six workers engaged in the production of men's slacks at the
Dallas, Texas, location were reported to the Unemployment
Insurance (UI) tax account for Glen Oaks Industries in Oklahoma.
The company official also reports that Marietta Sportswear
Manufacturing Co., Inc., is no longer an entity of Glen Oaks
Industries, and thus, not applicable to this worker group.
Also, the Department has learned from the State that all six
workers have been separated from employment and there is no need
to have the certification in effect for two years from the date
of issuance.
Based on this new information, the Department is again
amending the certification to limit coverage to workers producing
men's slacks at Marietta Sportswear Manufacturing Co., Inc.,
Dallas, Texas, whose wages were reported to the State of Oklahoma
under the UI tax account for Glen Oaks Industries. Furthermore,
the certification will expire October 4, 2002.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,761 is hereby
issued as follows:
"Workers producing men's slacks at Glen Oaks Industries,
Dallas, Texas, whose wages were reported to Glen Oaks
Industries in Marietta, Oklahoma, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 16,
2001 through October 4, 2002, 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 October, 2002.

MARIETTA SPORTSWEAR MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.
DALLAS, TEXAS
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 July 1, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at Glen
Oaks Industries, Marietta Sportswear Manufacturing Company, Inc.,
Dallas, Texas. The workers produced men's dress slacks.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment at the subject firm declined absolutely during the
relevant period.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that there were
substantial and increasing United States aggregate imports of men's
dress slacks during the period under investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Glen Oaks
Industries, Marietta Sportswear Manufacturing Company, Inc.,
Dallas, Texas, 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 Glen Oaks Industries, Marietta Sportswear
Manufacturing Company, Inc., Dallas, Texas, engaged in
employment related to the production of men's dress slacks,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 13, 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 29th day of August, 2002.
