A SUBSIDIARY OF BRUNSWICK CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF
STAFFING ALLIANCE, TIME SERVICES, MANPOWER AND
ROBERT HALF MANAGEMENT RESOURCES
MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on February 6, 2006,
applicable to workers of Brunswick Bowling & Billiards Corp., a
subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation, including leased workers of
Staffing Alliance, Muskegon, Michigan. The notice was published
in the Federal Register on March 2, 2006 (71 FR 10716).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of bowling balls.
New information shows that leased workers of Time Services,
Manpower and Robert Half Management Resources were employed on-
site at the Muskegon, Michigan location of Brunswick Bowling &
Billiards Corp., a subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of Time Services,
Manpower and Robert Half Management Resources working on-site at
Brunswick Bowling & Billiards Corp., a subsidiary of Brunswick
Corporation, Muskegon, Michigan.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers employed at Brunswick Bowling & Billiards Corp., a
subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation, Muskegon, Michigan who was
adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-58,704 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Brunswick Bowling & Billiards Corp., a
subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation, including on-site
leased workers of Staffing Alliance, Time Services,
Manpower and Robert Half Management Resources,
Muskegon, Michigan, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 23, 2005,
through February 6, 2008, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section
246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 28th day of June, 2006.

BRUNSWICK BOWLING & BILLIARDS CORP
A SUBSIDIARY OF BRUNSWICK CORPORATION
INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF STAFFING ALLIANCE
MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 25, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Brunswick Bowling & Billiards Corp., a subsidiary of
Brunswick Corporation, Muskegon, Michigan. The workers produce
bowling balls.
The subject firm leased on-site production workers from
Staffing Alliance.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at the
subject facility are related to a shift in the production of
bowling balls to a country (Mexico) that is party to a free trade
agreement with the United States.
In addition, in order for the Department to issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group
eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be
met. The Department has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable to positions
with similar pay and benefits. Furthermore, competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:


"All workers of Brunswick Bowling & Billiards Corp., a
subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation, including leased workers
from Staffing Alliance, Muskegon, Michigan who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January 23,
2005 through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.”
