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 September 27, 2004 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Don'L, Inc., a subsidiary of Alleson Athletic, Clayton,
Georgia. The workers at the subject firm produce athletic
sportswear.



The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined during the period of January through August 2004 when
compared to the same period in 2003.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in production of athletic sportswear 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 determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision 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 Don'L, Inc., a subsidiary of Alleson Athletic,
Clayton, Georgia who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after September 22, 2003, 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 18th day of October 2004.
