TECHNICOLOR UNIVERSAL MEDIA SERVICES LLC OF AMERICA
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF
WESTAFF
PINCKNEYVILLE, ILLINOIS

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 March 23, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by the State of Illinois on behalf
of workers of Technicolor Universal, Pinckneyville, Illinois.
The investigation revealed that the official name of the subject
firm is Technicolor Universal Media Services LLC of America,
Pinckneyville, Illinois. The workers produce and package optical
media.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject firm is related to a shift in production of packaging
optical media to Canada and Mexico, countries that are party to
free trade agreements with the US.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm employed
on site leased workers of Westaff.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
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 do not possess skills that are easily
transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are
adverse.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there has been a shift in
production from Technicolor Universal Media Services LLC of
America, Pinckneyville, Illinois to Canada and Mexico of
articles that are like or directly competitive with packaged
optical media produced by that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Technicolor Universal Media Services LLC of
America, Pinckneyville, Illinois, including onsite leased
workers of Westaff at Technicolor Universal Media Services
LLC of America, Pinckneyville, Illinois, engaged in optical
media packaging who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 22, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 6th day of April, 2006
