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 19, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by a State of Illinois one-stop
operator on behalf of workers of Physical Rehab Works, working
onsite at Maytag Corporation, a subsidiary of Whirlpool Inc.,
Herrin, Illinois (TA-W-60,265) and Executive Security
Specialists working onsite at Maytag Corporation, a subsidiary
of Whirlpool Inc., Herrin, Illinois (TA-W-60,265A). The workers
are engaged in employment related to nursing services and
security services respectively.
The investigation revealed that the workers of the subject
firm were employed onsite at a facility that did produce an
article. However, the investigation further found that the
workers of the subject firm did not support the production of
that article.
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 domestically
and there must be a relationship between the workers' work and
the article produced by the workers' firm or appropriate
subdivision. The investigation revealed that although
production of an article(s) occurred at the facility where the
nursing services providers and security services providers
worked, they do not support this production. Thus the worker
groups cannot 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 this
investigation, I determine that all workers of Physical Rehab
Works, working onsite at Maytag Corporation, a subsidiary of
Whirlpool Inc., Herrin, Illinois (TA-W-60,265) and Executive
Security Specialists working onsite at Maytag Corporation, a
subsidiary of Whirlpool Inc., Herrin, Illinois (TA-W-60,265A)
are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974
as amended.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 21st day of November, 2006.
