Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, an
investigation was initiated on September 30, 2002 in response to
a petition filed on the same date by UNITE, Rochester Regional
Joint Board, on behalf of workers at Xerox Corporation,
Canandaigua, New York.
A negative determination applicable to the petitioning group
of workers was issued on March 8, 2002 (TA-W-40,405). No new

result in a reversal of the Department’s previous determination.

Negative Determination 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:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on September 30, 2002 in
response to a petition filed by UNITE, Rochester Regional Joint
Board, on behalf of workers at Xerox Corporation, the Small
Office/Home Office Division (SOHO), Webster, New York. The
workers were engaged in employment related to the production of
print heads and ink tanks for ink jet printers.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject company does not import print heads and ink
tanks for ink jet printers.
The Department conducted a survey of the subject firms’
major customers regarding their purchases of print heads and ink
tanks. The survey revealed that none of the customers imported
in the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Xerox
Corporation, the Small Office/Home Office Division (SOHO),
Webster, New York are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
