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 May 10, 2004, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Thomson, Inc., American Tube Operations, Dunmore, Pennsylvania.
The workers perform administrative services related to production
of television picture tubes formerly produced at this location.
The investigation revealed that during the relevant time
period, Thomson, Inc., American Tube Operations, Dunmore,
Pennsylvania did 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
domestic 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
Thomson, Inc., American Tube Operations, Dunmore, Pennsylvania
are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 14th day of May 2004.
