DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-29,743]
IBM Corporation, Poughkeepsie, New York; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
On October 3, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the former
workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on October 14, 1994 (59 FR 52193).
The Department expanded its investigation to include the entire
Large Scale Computing Division (LSCD) at Poughkeepsie, New York where
mainframe computers are produced.
Investigation findings show that sales of computer hardware
declined in FY 1993 compared to FY 1992 and in the year to date 3rd
quarter of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993. The findings on
reconsideration show substantial worker separations in 1993 and in
1994.
Other findings on reconsideration show that IBM lost market share
of mainframe processors and processor subassemblies and components in
1994.
U.S. imports of automatic data processing equipment and parts
increased in the latest 12 month period ending in February 1994
compared to the same period in 1993.
Other IBM certifications are for workers at Rochester, Minnesota
(TA-W-29,026) computer storage equipment; (TA-W-30,176) computers; at
Endicott, New York (TA-W-30,258) mainframe computer hardware and
software and (TA-W-30,397) printed circuit boards and at Hopewell
Junction, New York (TA-W-29,752) computer chips.
Conclusion
After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on
reconsideration, it is concluded that workers at IBM Poughkeepsie, New
York were adversely affected by increased imports of articles that are
like or directly competitive with the LSCD mainframes produced at
Poughkeepsie, New York. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I
make the following revised determination for workers of IBM
Corporation, Poughkeepsie, New York.
All workers of IBM Corporation in Poughkeepsie, New York who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 31, 1993 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of March, 1995.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manger, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
