Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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 in response to a
petition received on November 12, 2004, and filed by a
company official on behalf of workers at VF Intimates, LP,
Monroeville Cutting Facility, Monroeville, Alabama. The
workers produce brassieres.
The decline in employment at the subject plant is
related to a shift in plant production of brassieres to
countries (Mexico and Honduras) that are, respectively, a
party to a free trade agreement and a beneficiary of 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
and Honduras 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 VF Intimates, LP, Monroeville Cutting
Facility, Monroeville, Alabama, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after
November 10, 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 14th day of December 2004.
