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 March 27, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers at Entronix, Inc., Rogers, Minnesota (TA-W-
61,190) and Entronix, Inc., Eveleth, Minnesota (TA-W-61,190A).
Workers at both locations were engaged in the repair and
remanufacturing of cell phones owned by their major customer.
Refurbished phones were not sold on the open market by the
subject firm but were returned to their major customer.
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 repair and remanufacturing work performed at
the Rogers and Eveleth facilities was not in support of domestic
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 the
investigation, I determine that all workers of the Entronix,
Inc., Rogers, Minnesota (TA-W-61,190) and Entronix, Inc.,
Eveleth, Minnesota (TA-W-61,190A), 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 23rd day of April 2007
