GE CONSUMER FINANCE AMERICAS
A SUBSIDIARY OF GE CAPITAL CORPORATION
CANTON, OHIO
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 24, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at GE Consumer Finance
Americas, a subsidiary of GE Capital Corporation, Canton, Ohio.
Workers at the subject division perform debt collection services.
The investigation revealed that GE Consumer Finance
Americas, a subsidiary of GE Capital Corporation, Canton, Ohio
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
debt collection service group seeking certification does not
support a firm or appropriate subdivision that produces an
article 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 of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of GE Consumer Finance
Americas, a subsidiary of GE Capital Corporation, Canton, Ohio are
denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
