Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 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 determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 27, 2003 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Skillers USA,
C&S Apparel, Inc., Butler, Pennsylvania. The workers at the
subject facility produce men's pants and shirts. Workers are
separately identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in facility production of men's
pants and shirts to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' firm to Mexico of articles that are like or directly
competitive with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Skillers USA, C&S Apparel, Inc., Butler,
Pennsylvania, engaged in employment related to the production
of men's pants and shirts, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 10, 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 in Washington, D.C. this 14th day of March, 2003.
