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 December 11, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Nelson Staffing, working on-site at Oracle
Corporation, Global Financial Services Department, Redwood Shores,
California. Nelson Staffing workers are engaged in activities
related to calculating royalty payments and finalizing licensing
for Oracle Corporation, Global Financial Services Department,
Redwood Shores, California.
The Nelson Staffing workers are leased, under contract, and
work on-site at Oracle Corporation, Global Financial Services
Department, Redwood Shores, California.
The investigation revealed that workers of Nelson Staffing,
working on-site at Oracle Corporation, Global Financial Services
Department, Redwood Shores, California do 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 that produces an article domestically and thus the
worker group 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, I determine that all workers of Nelson
Staffing, Redwood City, California 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.
