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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a cer-
tification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance,
the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph (a)(2)(A) or
(a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met. It is deter-
mined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of Section
222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 16, 2003, in re-
sponse to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of work-
ers of Scott Mills, Gastonia, North Carolina. The subject firm is a
division of Kleinert's of Alabama. The workers produced circular
knit fabric used in the company's vertically integrated production
of children's and infants' playwear and sleepwear.
The investigation revealed that workers at the subject mill
knitted fabric used by the company to produce children's clothing
at a facility whose workers are already covered under an active
certification (TA-W-39,521).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investiga-
tion, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or di-
rectly competitive with children's and infants' playwear and sleep-
wear produced at Scott Mills, Gastonia, North Carolina contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Scott Mills, Gastonia, North Carolina who be-
came totally or partially separated from employment on or af-
ter January 8, 2002 through two years from the date of certi-
fication are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 27th day of February 2003.
