Baras Jersey, Incorporated, New York, New York; Certification
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988
(P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents the results of
an investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance each of
the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the Act must be
met. It is determined in this case that all of the requirements have
been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition received
on April 10, 1995 and filed on behalf of workers at Baras Jersey,
Incorporated, New York, New York. The workers manufactured and sold
knitted cloth.
The investigation revealed that knitted cloth produced by Baras
Jersey, Incorporated, New York, New York is marketed through normal
retail channels. Thus, the articles manufactured by the subject firm
have been impacted importantly by the high penetration of imports into
this market.
U.S. imports of cotton print cloth increased absolutely in 1993,
compared to 1992, and increased absolutely in the twelve-month period
through June 1994 compared to the same period in 1993. In the twelve-
month period ended June 1994, the ratio of imports to domestic
production was more than 143%.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I
conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with knitted cloth produced at Baras Jersey, Incorporated,
New York, New York contributed importantly to the decline in sales or
production and to the total or partial separation of workers of that
firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of Baras Jersey, Incorporated, New York, New York
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 27, 1994 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 31st day of May, 1995.

Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
