A.I.G. AMERICAN GENERAL FINANCE
A SUBSIDIARY OF AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP
DALLAS, TEXAS
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 April 2, 2004, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of A.I.G. American General
Finance, a subsidiary of American International Group, Dallas,
Texas. The workers performed administrative services including
address changing, policy converting, policy reinstatements,
beneficiary changes, and billing and phone number changes for life
insurance policy owners.
The investigation revealed that A.I.G. American General
Finance, a subsidiary of American International Group, Dallas,
Texas 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 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 A.I.G.
American General Finance, a subsidiary of American International
Group, Dallas, Texas are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
