TRANS UNION LLC
CRUM LYNNE, PENNSYLVANIA
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on March 10, 2004, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Trans Union LLC, Crum
Lynne, Pennsylvania. The workers at the subject facility are
engaged in credit reporting services.
The investigation revealed that Trans Union LLC, Crum Lynne,
Pennsylvania does not produce an article within the meaning of
Section 222(a)(2) of the Act. In order to be considered eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974, the worker group seeking certification (or on whose
behalf certification is being sought) must work for a "firm" or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article and there must
be a relationship between the workers' work and the article
produced by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision. The
petitioning worker group seeking certification does not support a
firm or appropriate subdivision that produces an article and thus
the worker group cannot be considered import impacted or affected
by a shift in production of an article.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Trans
Union LLC, Crum Lynne, Pennsylvania are denied eligibility to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
