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 in response to a petition
received on April 15, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers and
former workers at Clarinda Company, Clarinda, Iowa and Atlantic,
Iowa. The workers perform electronic composition.
The investigation revealed that the workers of Clarinda
Company in Clarinda, Iowa and Atlantic, Iowa, do not produce an
article within the meaning of Section 222(3) of the Act. The
Department of Labor has consistently determined that the perfor-
mance of services does not constitute production of an article, as
required by Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, and this determi-
nation has been upheld in the U. S. Court of Appeals.
Workers of 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 Clarinda
Company, Clarinda, Iowa and Atlantic, Iowa, are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 2nd day of July 2002.
