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 16, 2008 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of the workers
of Avery Dennison Corporation, Corporate Center, Office Products
Group, Customer Operations Regional Distribution Center, Fontana,
California. The workers performed warehousing services including
receiving and shipping.
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 within
the firm or appropriate subdivision, the distribution center
workers described above do not support this production. 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 of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers of Avery Dennison
Corporation, Corporate Center, Office Products Group, Customer
Operations Division Regional Distribution Center, Fontana,
California 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.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 30th day of June 2008.
