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 June 2, 2008, in response
to a petition filed by the United Auto Workers Local 95 on behalf
of workers of Logistics Services, Inc., Janesville, Wisconsin. The
workers performed parts warehousing and delivery of motor vehicle
parts for an unaffiliated firm.
The investigation revealed that Logistics Services, Inc.,
Janesville, Wisconsin, 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 parts supply workers at Logistics Services,
Inc., Janesville, Wisconsin 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 of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Logistics
Services, Inc., Janesville, Wisconsin 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.
