INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM

BROOKFIELD, WISCONSIN
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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on May 30, 2006,
applicable to workers of Quebecor World, including leased on-site
workers of Westaff and DC Staffing Services, Brookfield,
Wisconsin. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
June 22, 2006 (71 FR 35949).
At the request of the petitioner and the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers were engaged in the production (printing) of
magazines and catalogs.
New information shows that leased workers of Driver Leasing
Midwest, Inc. were employed on-site at the Brookfield, Wisconsin
location of Quebecor World. The Department has determined that
these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject
firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of Driver Leasing
Midwest, Inc. working on-site at the Brookfield, Wisconsin
location of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Quebecor World, Brookfield, Wisconsin who
were adversely affected by a shift in production of (print)
magazines and catalogs to Canada.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,355 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Quebecor World, including one-site
leased workers of Westaff, DC Staffing Services and
Driver Leasing Midwest, Inc., Brookfield, Wisconsin,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 8, 2005, through May 30,
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.”

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 May 9, 2006, in response to
a petition filed by Teamsters Local 577M on behalf of workers of
Quebecor World, Brookfield, Wisconsin. The workers produce (print)
magazines and catalogs. The relevant group includes workers of
Westaff and DC Staffing Services.
The investigation revealed that Quebecor World is ceasing all
production at Brookfield and shifting production to other
locations, including Canada.
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 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.
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 Canada of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Quebecor World, including leased workers of
WeStaff and DC Staffing Services, Brookfield, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 8, 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.”
