DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-32,623]
Oakloom Clothes, Incorporated Baltimore, Maryland; Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration
By an application dated October 7, 1996, a petitioner requested
administrative reconsideration of the subject petition for trade
adjustment assistance (TAA). The denial notice was signed on October 1,
1996 and published in the Federal Register on October 16, 1996 (61 FR
53937).
The initial investigation findings showed that the workers produced
men's tailored clothing, suits, coats and sportcoats. The Department's
denial was based on the fact that all of the production workers were
separated from the subject firm more than one year prior to the date of
the petition and that the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group
Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met. In a follow-up
conversation the petitioner, a former company official, indicated that
the petition was filed only by managers who were laid off due to the
fact that the company was sold. Managers were laid off by the new
company and none of the production workers at the new company were
affected.
Based on company official information the investigation revealed
that criterion (1,2&3) of Section 223 of the Trade Act has not been
met.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act to workers and former workers of Oakloom
Clothes, Incorporated, Baltimore, Maryland.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 4th day of November 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
