[NAFTA-01471 & 01471A & 01471B & 01471C]
Haggar Clothing Company, et al.; 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 Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on February 21, 1997,
applicable to all workers of Haggar Clothing Company, also known as
Brownsville Manufacturing Company, and also known as McKinney Pant
Manufacturing Company located in
[[Page 32382]]
Brownsville, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
March 21, 1997 (62 FR 13711).
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 are covered under previous NAFTA-TAA
certifications, NAFTA-00444A and NAFTA-00444B, respectively. These
certifications will expire on June 7, 1997. Workers at the subject
firm's Weslaco Cutting Center in Weslaco are not covered under NAFTA-
00444B.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Haggar Clothing Company who were affected by increased
imports from Mexico or Canada. 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 NAFTA-01471 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 (NAFTA-01471) and Haggar Clothing Company,
Weslaco Cutting Center, Weslaco, Texas (NAFTA-01471C), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after January
13, 1996, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 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 (TA-W-33,153A) and Haggar Clothing Company,
Weslaco Manufacturing Company, also known as Bowie Manufacturing
Company, Weslaco, Texas (TA-W-33,153B), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 11, 1997, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 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.
