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 October 13, 2005 in
response to a petition filed by the Aircrafts Mechanics Fraternal
Association on behalf of workers of United Airlines, Inc., Aircraft
Maintenance Division, Elk Grove Township, Illinois, and workers at
the following locations: Los Angeles International Airport, Los
Angeles, California; San Diego/Lindberg Field, San Diego,
California; Denver International Airport, Denver, Colorado;
McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada; Honolulu
Airport, Honolulu, Hawaii; Keahole Airport, Kona, Hawaii; Lihue
Airport, Kauai, Hawaii; Kahului Airport, Kahului, Hawaii; San
Francisco International Airport, San Francisco, California;
Seattle/Tacoma International Airport, Seattle, Washington; Portland
International Airport, Portland, Oregon; Newark International
Airport, Newark, New Jersey; John F. Kennedy International Airport,
New York, New York; La Guardia Airport, New York, New York;
Philadelphia International Airport, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania;
Bradley International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts; Logan
International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts; Detroit/Wayne County
Airport, Detroit, Michigan; Baltimore/Washington International
Airport, Baltimore, Maryland; AFB Municipal Airport, Charleston,
South Carolina; Ronald Reagan National Airport, Washington, DC;
Dulles International Airport, Dulles, Virginia; Orlando
International Airport, Orlando, Florida; Miami International
Airport, Miami, Florida; Indianapolis International Airport,
Indianapolis, Indiana and O'Hare International Airport, Chicago,
Illinois. The workers performed aircraft maintenance and repair.
The investigation revealed that workers at the afore named
locations do 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
aircraft mechanics 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 assis-
tance (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 United Airlines,
Inc., Aircraft Maintenance Division, Elk Grove Township,
Illinois, and at the locations indicated above 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 under Section
246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 18th day of November 2005.
