GENERAL ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS
MOTORS DIVISION
ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on October 16, 2000 and filed on behalf of workers at
General Electric Industrial Systems, Motors Division, Erie,
Pennsylvania. The workers performed marketing and engineering
work.
The investigation revealed that the workers of General
Electric Industrial Systems, Motors Division, Erie, Pennsylvania
do not produce an article within the meaning of Section 222(3) of
the Act. The Department of Labor has consistently determined that
the performance of services does not constitute production of an
article, as required by Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, and
this determination has been upheld in the U. S. Court of Appeals.
Workers of the subject firm may be certified only if their
separation was caused importantly by a reduced demand for their
services from a parent firm, a firm otherwise related to the
subject firm by ownership, or a firm related by control.
Additionally, the reduction in demand for services must originate
at a production facility whose workers independently meet the
statutory criteria for certification and the reduction must
directly relate to the product impacted by imports. These condi
tions have not been met for workers at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
General Electric Industrial Systems, Motors Division, Erie,
Pennsylvania are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
