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 19, 2002, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Lucedale Industries, Lucedale, Mississippi.
The workers produce knit shirts.
The investigation revealed that sales, production, and
employment declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that company imports of
knit shirts 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 knit shirts produced by Lucedale
Industries, Lucedale, 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 Lucedale Industries, Lucedale, Mississippi,
engaged in employment related to the production of knit
shirts, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 5, 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.
