PARSIPPANY, NEW JERSEY
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 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
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on November 27, 2000, and filed on behalf of workers at
Dun & Bradstreet, Global Technology Organization (GTO)
Parsippany, New Jersey. The workers performed administrative
support services.
The investigation revealed that the workers of the subject
firm do not produce an article within the meaning of Section
223(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.
Therefore, workers of Dun & Bradstreet, Global Technology
Organization (GTO) Parsippany, New Jersey, 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
conditions have not been met for workers at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Dun &
Bradstreet, Global Technology Organization (GTO) Parsippany, New
Jersey, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 12th day of January 2001.
