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 in response to a petition
received on December 9, 2005 and filed by the Communications
Workers of America-AFL-CIO, Local 13302 on behalf of workers at
U.S. Airways, Inc., Greentree Reservations, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. The workers provided airline reservations and
flight schedules, fare information and related airline
information for U.S. Airways, Inc.
The investigation revealed that U.S. Airways, Inc.,
Greentree Reservations, Pittsburgh, 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. The petitioning workers of U.S.
Airways, Inc., Greentree Reservations, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
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, I determine that all workers of U.S.
Airways, Inc., Greentree Reservations, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
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 6th day of January 2006.
