DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-31,359 Milwaukie, Oregon and TA-W-31,359A Portland, Oregon]
Pendleton Woolen Mills, Inc.; Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 13, 1995,
applicable to workers at Pendleton Woolen Mills, Inc., Milwaukie,
Oregon, engaged in employment related to the production of women's
blouses. The certification was amended on October 25, 1995 to expand
coverage to all workers of the subject firm. The amended notice was
published in the Federal Register on November 7, 1995 (60 FR 56174).
At the request of the union, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that
worker separations have occurred at the subject firm's production
facility in Portland, Oregon. The workers produce a variety of men's
and women's apparel, including ladies' blazers and men's jackets. The
articles manufactured by the subject firm have been impacted
importantly by the high import penetration ratio of these articles in
the domestic market place.
The ratio of U.S. imports to domestic shipments of women's, girl's,
men's and boys' coats and jackets was over 200 percent in 1993, 1994
and 1995.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Pendleton Woolen Mills adversely affected by imports of
apparel. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
cover the workers of the subject firm in Portland, Oregon.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-31,359 is hereby issued as
follows:
``All workers of Pendleton Woolen Mills, Inc., Milwaukie, Oregon
(TA-W-31,359) and Portland, Oregon (TA-W-31,359A) who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 9, 1994 are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974.''
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 13th day of March 1996.
Russel T. Kile,
Acting Program manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
