TRANE CO A DIVISION OF
AMERICAN STANDARD
LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN
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.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance, each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or subdi-vision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by the firm or appro-priate subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on August 20, 2001 in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Trane Co A Division of American Standard, La Crosse, Wisconsin. The workers produced centrifugal electric water chillers, absorption thermal water chillers, and reciprocating and scroll compressors.
The investigation revealed that criteria (2) has not been met.
Sales and production increased from FY 1999 to 2000 and from FY 2000 through June 2001.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Trane Co a Division of American Standard, La Crosse, Wisconsin are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 28th day of September, 2001.
