Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
And Alternative Trade 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 April 25, 2005 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of SITEL/NAFS,
Norcross, Georgia. The workers are engaged in various
activities related to pre and post-charge-off collection
services for clients.
The investigation revealed that SITEL/NAFS, Norcross,
Georgia, neither produces an article nor performs activities
related to production of an article at an affiliated facility
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 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 petitioning
worker group seeking certification does not support a firm or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article and thus the
worker group can not be considered import impacted or affected
by a shift in production of an article.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance
(TAA). Since the workers are denied eligibility to apply for
TAA, the workers cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.









Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
SITEL/NAFS, Norcross, Georgia, 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.
