TA-W-40,289
MOTOROLA, INC.
GLOBAL TELECOM SOLUTIONS SECTOR (GTSS)
ROLLING MEADOWS, ILLINOIS
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 on October 29, 2001 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Motorola,
Inc.'s Global Telecommunications Solutions Sector (GTSS), Rolling
Meadows, Illinois. Workers at the subject facility provided
support services.
The investigation revealed that the workers of the subject
firm did not produce an article within the meaning of Section
250(a) of the Trade Act, as amended. The Department of Labor
has consistently determined that the performance of services
does not constitute production of an article, as required by the
Trade Act of 1974, and this determination has been upheld in the
U. S. Court of Appeals.
Workers of the subject facility 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 performing support
services at the subject facility.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of The
Motorola, Inc.'s Global Telecommunications Solutions Sector
(GTSS), Rolling Meadows, Illinois engaged in the employment
related to support services are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
