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 eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on March 12, 2001, and filed on behalf of workers at
Genicom Corporation, Document Solutions Company Division,
Waynesboro, Virginia. This facility is essentially closed as the
company filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in March 2000. The subject firm was a warehouse-
stockroom and customer service facility where workers performed
services related to engineering and repair operations for computers
and printers and company administrative and finance operations.
The investigation revealed that the workers of Genicom
Corporation, Document Solutions Company Division, Waynesboro,
Virginia, 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.
A petition for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment has been filed on
behalf of workers at the subject firm (NAFTA - 4574). A
determination on that petition will be made concurrently with this
decision.
Workers of Genicom Corporation, Document Solutions Company
Division, Waynesboro, Virginia 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 Genicom
Corporation, Document Solutions Company Division, Waynesboro,
Virginia are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 7th day of June, 2001.
