MT. Vernon, IL; Notice of Negative
Determination on Remand
On September 25, 2006, the U.S.
Court of International Trade (USCIT)
granted the U.S. Department of Labor’s
motion for a voluntary remand in
Former Employees of Joy Technologies,
Inc. v. U.S. Secretary of Labor, Court No.
06–00088. SAR 240.
Case History
On August 9, 2005, the International
Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship
Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and
Helpers, Local 483, (‘‘Union’’) filed a
petition for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) on
behalf of workers and former workers of
Joy Technologies, Inc., DBA Joy Mining
Machinery, Mt. Vernon Plant, Mt.
Vernon, Illinois (the subject facility)
producing underground mining
machinery (the subject worker group).
AR 2.
The Department’s negative
determination, issued on September 15,
2005, was based on findings that sales
and employment at the subject facility
increased in 2004 from 2003 levels, that
sales remained stable in January through
July 2005 over the corresponding 2004
period, and that employment increased
during January through July 2005 over
the corresponding 2004 period. The
denial was also based on the findings of
no shift of underground mining
machinery production abroad and no
increased imports of underground
mining machinery during the relevant
period. AR 130–135. The Notice of the
Department’s determination was
published in the Federal Register on
October 31, 2005 (70 FR 62345). AR 142.
On November 3, 2005, workers
requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance, applicable to workers of the
subject firm. In the request for
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1771
reconsideration, the workers asserted
that the Department’s interpretation of
the reasons for the plant closure and the
activities of the subject workers was
erroneous. According to the workers,
production and employment increased
at the subject facility from 2003 to 2004
due to a ‘‘Contract Agreement’’ between
the subject firm and the Union and that
‘‘the worker group at Joy, Mt. Vernon, IL
has been an upstream supplier to the Joy
Mining Machinery facility located in
Franklin, PA. [p]roducing various
components used in the final assembly
of the firms products’’ and that in
‘‘2004, the worker group * * * resumed
being an upstream supplier of
component parts * * * to be used in
final production or to be sold as new
replacement components to Joy Mining
Machinery customers.’’ The workers
allege that ‘‘[t]hese components are
being produced in a foreign country
(Mexico).’’ AR 145–147.
In support of the allegation, the
workers provided the Department with
a copy of a November 17, 2005
electronic message from a Joy official to
the Union which confirmed that the Joy,
Mt. Vernon, Illinois facility supplied
components for Joy, Franklin,
Pennsylvania, AR 159, and stated that
‘‘three sets of track frames that were
fabricated in Mexico were finished in
the Mt. Vernon machine and weld
shops.’’ AR 160.
On November 16, 2005, the
Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
Notice of affirmative determination was
published in the Federal Register on
December 15, 2005 (70 FR 74373).
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Union informed the
Department that it is not involved with
the request for reconsideration and
directed the Department to speak with
the workers. AR 149.
According to workers Jerome Tobin
and John Moore, the subject facility is
an upstream supplier to the Joy plant in
Franklin, Pennsylvania; the Franklin,
Pennsylvania facility outsourced
production to Mexico; the component
parts made at the subject facility were
outsourced to Mexico, and the
components were sent to Joy, Eagle
Pass, Texas. Id. During a conference
call, the workers also stated that they
would file a new petition as
secondarily-affected workers. Id. In a
later conference call, Jerome Tobin, John
Moore, and Steve Lisenbey, stated that
Joy had outsourced production to
Extreme Machine. Id.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department found that
