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 20, 2004, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Continental Retail
Services, Inc., Bellbrook, Ohio. The workers were engaged in
assembly services (e.g.- bicycles, swingsets, gas grills). The
subject firm provided on-site assembly services to retail stores.
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 domestically and there must be a
relationship between the workers' work and the article produced by
the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision. The investigation
revealed that production of an article(s) did not occur within the
firm or appropriate subdivision and the assembly workers do not
support any production. 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
Continental Retail Services, Inc., Bellbrook, Ohio are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 24th day of June 2004.
