JAMES B. LAWSON TRUCKING
MILL CREEK, PENNSYLVANIA

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 November 15, 2005, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of James B.
Lawson Trucking, Mill Creek, Pennsylvania. The workers performed
trucking services delivering components to a tool manufacturer.
The investigation revealed that James B. Lawson Trucking,
Mill Creek, Pennsylvania, 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. Workers at James B. Lawson Trucking are not
employed by 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 James B. Lawson
Trucking, Mill Creek, Pennsylvania are denied eligibility to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 12th day of December 2005
