HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AEROSPACE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FUNCTION
PHOENIX, ARIZONA
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 November 16, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by a state workforce representative on
behalf of workers of Honeywell International, Inc., Aerospace
Information Technology Function, Phoenix, Arizona. Workers of the
subject division perform information technology analysis.
The investigation revealed that Honeywell International, Inc.,
Aerospace Information Technology Function, Phoenix, Arizona, 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 investigation
revealed that although the company does produce article(s), such as
software, the aerospace information technology function workers
only provide software development that is incidental to production
at the subject firm and they do not support production that is
marketed by Honeywell International, Inc.
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, I determine that all workers of
Honeywell International, Inc., Aerospace Information Technology
Function, Phoenix, Arizona 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.
