NUVO CORPORATION
SUBISIDIARY OF NUVO NETWORK MANAGEMENT, INC.
MINNETONKA, MINNESOTA
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 October 18, 2004, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of NUVO
Corporation, subsidiary of NUVO Network Management, Inc.,
Minnetonka, Minnesota. The workers perform technical,
informational and procedural customer support via telephone as a
part of informational technology out-tasking operations.
The investigation revealed that NUVO Corporation, subsidiary
of NUVO Network Management, Inc., Minnetonka, Minnesota, 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 customer support workers described
above 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, I determine that all workers of NUVO
Corporation, subsidiary of NUVO Network Management, Inc.,
Minnetonka, Minnesota are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 10th day of November 2004.
