BALTRANS GLOBAL LOGISTICS, LTD.
INCLUDING WORKERS OF ADECCO TEMPORARY SERVICES
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO

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 September 16, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Baltrans Global Logistics, LTD., Fort Collins, Colorado.
Workers provided 3rd party warehouse services for an unaffiliated
firm. The work included receiving parts, production returns, parts
restock, parts fulfillment, etc. for an unaffiliated firm.
The investigation revealed that Baltrans Global Logistics,
LTD., Fort Collins, Colorado, does not produce an article within
the meaning of Section 222(a)(2)(A)(I.A.) and (a)(2)(B)(II.A.) 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 warehouse
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.
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 of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Baltrans Global
Logisitcs, LTD., including workers from Adecco Temporary Services,
Fort Collins, Colorado 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.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 27th day of October 2005.
