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 October 11, 2005 in
response to a petition filed by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal
Association on behalf of workers of Northwest Airlines, Inc.,
Technical Operations Division, Anchorage, Alaska. The workers
at the subject facility are engaged in the maintenance and
engineering on Northwest aircraft, ground equipment and
facilities.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm 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 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 Northwest
Airlines, Inc., Technical Operations Division, Anchorage, Alaska
are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 27th day of October, 2005.
