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 June 23, 2004 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of General
Electric Capital Corporation, GE Auto Financial Services, Depew,
New York. The workers were engaged in collections on delinquent
automotive loans.
The investigation revealed that General Electric Capital
Corporation, GE Auto Financial Services, Depew, New York, 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
workers of the subject firm 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.
The investigation found that GE Auto Financial Services is
a collections agency. A collections agency is an organization
that obtains or arranges for payment of money owed to a third
party. GE Auto Financial Services does not make any products or
articles of any kind.
Conclusion
After careful review, of the facts obtained in this
investigation, I determine that all workers of General Electric
Capital Corporation, GE Auto Financial Services, Depew, New York
are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 13th day of July 2004.
