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 March 5, 2001, and filed on behalf of employees at
Danieli Corporation, Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. The
following subdivisions at the site are also included: Danieli Wean
United, Danieli Automation, Danieli Morgardshammal, and Danieli
Centro Met. The workers perform engineering, sales, inspection and
administrative activities.
The investigation revealed that the workers of the subject
firm including the subdivisions Cranberry Township 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.
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
conditions have not been met for workers at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Danieli
Corporation, Danieli Wean United, Danieli Automation, Danieli
Morgardshammal, and Danieli Centro Met, Cranberry Township,
Pennsylvania, including the above mentioned subdivisions at the
site, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
