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 15, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of AT&T Wireless, Bothell
10 facility, a division of AT&T Wireless, Bothell, Washington. The
workers performed information technology services. These services
involve providing computer repair and troubleshooting services for
AT&T Wireless employees.
The investigation revealed that AT&T Wireless, Bothell 10
facility, a division of AT&T Wireless, Bothell, Washington 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 information technology workers
described above do not support a firm or appropriate subdivision
that produces an article domestically and thus the worker group can
not be considered import impacted or affected by a shift in
production of an article.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of AT&T
Wireless, Bothell 10 facility, a division of AT&T Wireless,
Bothell, Washington are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 6th day of May 2004.
