DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-59,168]
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance; Joan
Fabrics Corporation Including Workers Who's Wages Were Paid By
Accuforce Staffing Service; Siler City, North Carolina
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.
2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1074 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance on April 25, 2006, applicable to workers of Joan
Fabrics Corporation, Siler City, North Carolina. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2006 (71 FR 27519).
At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged
in the production of upholstery, wall panel and tie lining fabrics.
New information shows that following a change in ownership, some
workers of the Siler City, North Carolina location of the subject firm
will become employees of AccuForce Staffing Service.
Workers separated from employment at the Siler City, North Carolina
location of the subject firm had their wages reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for AccuForce Staffing Service.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Joan Fabrics Corporation, including workers who's wages were
paid by AccuForce Staffing Service, Siler City, North Carolina who were
adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,168 is hereby issued as
follows:
``All workers of Joan Fabrics Corporation, including workers
who's wages were paid by AccuForce Staffing Service, Siler City,
North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 5, 2005, through April 25, 2008, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974.''
Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of July 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
