HIGHLAND CLINIC, APMC
SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA
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 20, 2004, in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Highland Clinic, APMC, Shreveport, Louisiana.
The workers at the subject firm are engaged in medical record
transcription.
The investigation revealed that Highland Clinic, APMC,
Shreveport, Louisiana, 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 at the subject firm engaged in medical records
transcriptions 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 this
investigation, I determine that all workers of Highland Clinic,
APMC, Shreveport, Louisiana, are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974,
and are also denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 27th day of October 2004.
