LEGO SYSTEMS, INC.
INCLUDING FORMER ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF ADECCO USA, INC.
CURRENTLY EMPLOYED WITH STAFF MANAGEMENT
ENFIELD, CONNECTICUT

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 January 16, 2007,
applicable to workers of LEGO Systems, Inc., including on-site
leased workers of Staff Management, Enfield, Connecticut. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on February 7, 2007
(72 FR 5748).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the assembly of LEGO toy model kits.
New information shows that in February 2006, the leased
workers of Adecco USA, Inc., employed on-site at the Enfield,
Connecticut location of LEGO Systems, Inc., became employees of
Staff Management due to a change in contracting firms.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at LEGO Systems, Inc., Enfield, Connecticut
who were adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,688 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of LEGO Systems, Inc., including former
on-site leased workers of Adecco USA, Inc., currently
employed with Staff Management, Enfield, Connecticut,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 2, 2006, through January
16, 2009, 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.”

LEGO SYSTEMS, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM STAFF MANAGEMENT
ENFILED, CONNECTICUT

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 3, 2007 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
LEGO Systems, Inc., Enfield, Connecticut. The workers assemble LEGO
toy model kits.
LEGO Systems, Inc. also leased workers from Staff Management
to work on-site at the Enfield facility.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
facility declined in the relevant period and further separations
are anticipated.
The subject firm is currently shifting a major portion of the
production at Enfield to a country (Mexico) which is party to a
free trade agreement with the United States.
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.


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 LEGO Systems, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Staff Management, Enfield, Connecticut, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 2, 2006 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.”
