DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Haggar Clothing Company, TA-W-33,153, a/k/a Brownsville
Manufacturing Company, A/K/A McKinney Pant Manufacturing Company,
Brownsville, Texas, et al.; 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 Notice of Certification
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on
February 21, 1997, applicable to workers of Haggar Clothing Company,
also known as Brownsville Manufacturing Company, and also known as
McKinney Pant Manufacturing Company located in Brownsville, Texas. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 21, 1997 (62 FR
13710).
At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. Findings on review show
that worker separations have occurred at the subject firm's Edinburgh
and Weslaco, Texas locations. The workers produce men's dress and
casual pants. The company reports that worker separations have also
occurred at the subject firm's Weslaco Cutting Center in Weslaco,
Texas.
Workers of the Haggar Clothing Company production facilities in
Edinburg and Weslaco, Texas were covered under previous TAA
certifications, TA-W-30,850A and TA-W-30,850B, respectively. These
certifications expired on May 11, 1997. Workers at the subject firm's
Weslaco Cutting Center in Weslaco were not covered under TA-W-30,850B.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Haggar Clothing Company who were affected by increased
imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending the worker
certification to include the workers of Haggar Clothing Company in
Edinburgh and Weslaco, Texas, and include workers at the Weslaco
Cutting Center in Weslaco, Texas.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,153 is hereby issued as
follows:
``All workers of Haggar Clothing Company, also known as Brownsville
Manufacturing, also known as McKinney Pant Manufacturing Company,
Brownsville, Texas (TA-W-33,153) and Haggar Clothing Company,
Weslaco Cutting Center, Weslaco, Texas (TA-W-33,153C) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after January
13, 1996, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974;'' and
``I further determine that all workers of Haggar Clothing Company,
Edinburg Manufacturing Company, also known as Waxahachie Garment
Company, Edinburg, Texas (NAFTA-01471A) and Haggar Clothing Company,
Weslaco Manufacturing Company, also known as Bowie Manufacturing
Company, Weslaco, Texas (NAFTA-01471B), who become totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 7, 1997, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 250 of the
Trade Act of 1974.''
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 29th day of May 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
