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 July 29, 2005, in response
to a petition filed by a District Representative of the United Food
and Commercial Workers on behalf of workers of Mason Companies,
Inc., Distribution Center, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The workers
are engaged in the distribution of footwear.
The investigation revealed that Mason Companies, Inc.,
Distribution Center, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, 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 distribution 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 Mason Companies, Inc., Distribution
Center, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin are denied eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 5th day of August 2005.
