TAA-W-38,515
PERMANENT LABEL CORPORATION
CLIFTON, 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 U.S. 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 January 9, 2001 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Permanent
Label Corporation, Clifton, New Jersey.
The investigation revealed that the workers of Permanent
Label Corporation, Clifton, New Jersey, 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 of 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 the workers at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of
Permanent Label Corporation, Clifton, 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 9th day of April 2001.
