DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Haggar Clothing Company; 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 U.S.C. 2273), the
Department of Labor issued a Notice of Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on June 7, 1995,
applicable to all workers at the subject firm. The notice was published
in the Federal Register on June 21, 1995 (60 FR 32347). The
certification for workers of the subject firm was amended June 20,
1995, to show that some of the Robstown workers had their unemployment
insurance (UI) taxes paid to Greenville Pant Manufacturing Company. The
amended notice was published in the Federal Register on June 29, 1995,
(60 FR 33849).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that
worker separations have occurred at other production facilities of the
subject firm, Edinburg Manufacturing Company, a/k/a Waxahachie Garment
Company, Edinburg, Texas, and Weslaco Manufacturing Company, a/k/a
Bowie Manufacturing Company, Weslaco, Texas. The workers at the
Edinburg plant produce men's pants, and the workers in Weslaco are
engaged in employment related to the production of men's pants and
coats.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of the Haggar Clothing Company who were adversely affected by
increased imports from Mexico or Canada. Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to include all workers of the Haggar
Clothing Company production facilities in Edinburg and Weslaco, Texas.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--00444 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of workers of Haggar Clothing Company, Robstown
Manufacturing Company, a/k/a Greenville Pant Manufacturing Company,
located in Robstown, Texas (NAFTA-00444); Edinburg Manufacturing
Company, a/k/a Waxahachie Garment Company, Edinburg, Texas (NAFTA-
00444A); and Weslaco Manufacturing Company, a/k/a Bowie
Manufacturing Company, Weslaco, Texas (NAFTA-00444B) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 27,
1994 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 19th day of April 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
