HILLSBORO, OREGON
Negative Determinations 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 May 10, 2005, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Teleplan Services
Oregon, Inc., subsidiary of Teleplan Holding USA, Hillsboro,
Oregon. The workers are engaged in after-market disk drive repair.
The investigation revealed that Teleplan Services, subsidiary
of Teleplan Holding USA, Hillsboro, Oregon, 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 repair 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 of the facts in this investigation, I
determine that all workers of Teleplan Services Oregon, Inc.,
subsidiary of Teleplan Holding USA, Hillsboro, Oregon are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of May 2005.
