KALKSTEIN SILK MILLS, INC.
PATERSON, NEW JERSEY
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 in response to a petition
received on July 22, 2002, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Kalkstein Silk Mills, Inc., Paterson, New
Jersey. The workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of silk, cotton, and polyester fabric.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject firm declined in 2001 as compared with 2000 and during the
period of January-July 2002 as compared with the same time period
in 2001.
The investigation also revealed that company increased their
reliance on imported silk, cotton, and polyester fabric during the
relevant period.
The workers were under an existing TAA certification (TA-W-
37,822) which expired on July 17, 2002.
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 Kalkstein Silk
Mill, Inc., Paterson, New Jersey 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 Kalkstein Silk Mills, Inc., Paterson, New
Jersey, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 18, 2002, 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 9th day of September, 2002.
