UNITED SWEATER MILLS, CORP.
JERSEY CITY, 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 on September 3, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at United
Sweater Mill, Corp., Jersey City, New Jersey. The workers
produce ladies' sweaters.
A petition for the NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance
has been filed on behalf of workers at the subject plant (NAFTA -
06493).
The investigation revealed that production and employment at
the subject firm decreased during the period under investigation.
The investigation further revealed that company imports in-
creased during the relevant period.
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 ladies' sweaters at United Sweater
Mill, Corp., Jersey City, New Jersey, contributed importantly to
the decline in sales or 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 United Sweater Mill, Corp., Jersey City, New
Jersey, who became totally or partially separated from em-
ployment on or after August 20, 2001, through two years from
the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjust-
ment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 27th day of September 2002.
