DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance

Levi Strauss and Company;
TA-W-33,513; Goodyear Cutting Facility and El Paso Field 
Headquarters; 1440 Goodyear, El Paso, Texas;
TA-W-33,513W; Kastrin Street Plant; 1000 Kastrin Street, El Paso, 
Texas

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on August 7, 1997, applicable to 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company, located in El Paso, Texas. The 
notice will be published soon in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information received 
by the company shows that worker separations have occurred at the 
Kastrin Street Plant and the El Paso Field Headquarters, El Paso, Texas 
locations of Levi Strauss and Company. The Kastrin Street Plant is a 
sewing facility for Levi's manufacturing facilities. The El Paso Field 
Headquarters at 1440 Goodyear in El Paso, Texas is an administrative 
office servicing the western regional manufacturing facilities of Levi 
Strauss. The 1440 Goodyear location is also a cutting facility. The 
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of men's, 
women's and youth's denim jeans and jackets. Based on this new 
information, the Department is amending the certification to cover the 
subject firm's Kastrin Street Plant and the El Paso Field Headquarters, 
El Paso, Texas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Levi Strauss and Company who were adversely affected by 
increased imports

of men's, women's and youth's denim jeans and jackets.

Facility and El Paso Field Headquarters, El Paso, Texas (TA-W-

apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.''
