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 May 25, 2005 in response to
a petition filed on behalf of workers of AC Nielson (US), Inc., TD-
Operations, Wilton, Connecticut. The workers were engaged in
employment related to creating and maintaining retail store
information databases.
The investigation revealed that AC Nielson (US), Inc., TD-
Operations, Wilton, Connecticut, 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 engaged in creating and maintaining
retail store information databases 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 obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of AC Nielson (US),
Inc., TD-Operations, Wilton, Connecticut are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 1st day of July 2005.
