HARTE-HANKS MARKET INTELLIGENCE
A DIVISION OF HARTE-HANKS DIRECT MARKETING
STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN
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 August 20, 2004 in response
to a petition filed by a state agency representative on behalf of
workers at Harte-Hanks Market Intelligence, a division of Harte-
Hanks Direct Marketing, Sterling Heights, Michigan. Workers at the
subject facility were engaged in gathering information for
technology market databases.
The investigation revealed that Harte-Hanks Market
Intelligence, a division of Harte-Hanks Direct Marketing, Sterling
Heights, Michigan 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
Harte-Hanks Market Intelligence, Sterling Heights, Michigan 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.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of at Harte-Hanks
Market Intelligence, a division of Harte-Hanks Direct Marketing,
Sterling Heights, Michigan 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 September 2004.
