and Ferrum Plant, Ferrum, VA; Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title
II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC 2273), the Department
of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA
Transitional Adjustment Assistance on June 8, 1998, applicable to
workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Hillsville, Virginia. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on July 13, 1998 (63 FR 37591).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The company reports that
worker separations occurred at the Commerce Plant, Commerce, Georgia
and the Ferrum Plant, Ferrum, Virginia facilities of VF Knitwear, Inc.
All workers will be separated from the Commerce, Georgia and Ferrum,
Virginia locations when they close permanently in June, 1999. The
workers are engaged in the production of t-shirts and fleecewear.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of VF Knitwear, Inc. adversely affected by increased imports
from Mexico. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Commerce Plant, Commerce,
Georgia and Ferrum Plant, Ferrum, Virginia.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-2360 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of VF Knitwear, Inc., Hillsville, Virginia (NAFTA-

partially separated from employment on or after May 1, 1997 through

of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 11th day of March, 1999.
