DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-33,391]
Asher Company, Including Workers of Lewis & Thomas Saltz,
Clothiers, Incorporated, Fitchburg, MA; Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on April 29, 1997, applicable to
all workers of Asher Company located in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. The
notice will be published soon in the Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided
by the State shows that some workers separated from employment at Asher
Company had their wages reported under a separate unemployment
insurance (UI) tax account at Lewis & Thomas Saltz Clothiers,
Incorporated. Workers from Lewis & Thomas Saltz Clothiers, Incorporated
produced men's trousers at the Fitchburg, Massachusetts location of
Asher Company.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to include workers from Lewis & Thomas Saltz Clothiers,
Incorporated, Fitchburg, Massachusetts who were engaged in the
production of men's trousers at Asher Company, Fitchburg,
Massachusetts.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Asher Company adversely affected by imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,391 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Asher Company, Fitchburg, Massachusetts and
workers of Lewis & Thomas Saltz Clothiers, Incorporated, Fitchburg,
Massachusetts engaged in employment related to the production of
men's trousers for Asher Company, Fitchburg, Massachusetts who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 12, 1996, through April 29, 1999 are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 20th day of March 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
