AMORY GARMENT COMPANY
A DIVISION OF BLOCK CORPORATION
AMORY, MISSISSIPPI
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 August 12, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at
Amory Garment Company, a division of Block Corporation, Amory,
Mississippi. The workers produce men's pants.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
men's pants increased absolutely during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with men's pants produced by Amory
Garment Company, a division of Block Corporation, Amory,
Mississippi, 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 Amory Garment Company, a division of Block
Corporation, Amory, Mississippi, engaged in employment related
to the production of men's pants, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 18, 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 16th day of September, 2002.
