QUALIFIED STAFFING, AEROTEK AND
ON-SITE WORKERS FROM HUBBARD SUPPLY COMPANY
AND ROBERT HALF MANAGEMENT RESOURCES
BRIGHTON, 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), 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 November 14, 2007,
applicable to workers of Atreum-Brighton, a subsidiary of Magna
International, Decoma International Division, including on-site
leased workers from Qualified Staffing and Aerotek, Brighton,
Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
December 10, 2007 (72 FR 69710). The certification was amended
on January 8, 2008 to include workers of Hubbard Supply Company
working on-site at the Brighton, Michigan location. The notice
was published on January 15, 2008 (73 FR 2543).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production of door panels and various
other injection molded parts for the automobile industry.
New information shows that workers of Robert Half Management
Resources were employed on-site at the Brighton, Michigan
location of Atreum-Brighton, a subsidiary of Magna International,
Decoma International Division. The Department has determined
that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the
subject firm and should be considered part of the affected worker
group.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers of Robert Half Management
Resources who were employed on-site at the Brighton, Michigan
location of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Atreum-Brighton, a subsidiary of Magna
International, Decoma International Division, Brighton, Michigan
who were adversely-impacted by a shift in production of door
panels and various other injection molded parts for automobile
industry to Mexico and Canada.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,396 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Atreum-Brighton, a subsidiary of Magna
International, Decoma International Division, including
on-site leased workers from Qualified Staffing and
Aerotek, and on-site workers from Hubbard Supply
Company and Robert Half Management Resources, Brighton,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 30, 2006, through
November 14, 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.”

BRIGHTON, 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 November 1, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America
Local 599 on behalf of workers of Atreum-Brighton, a subsidiary of
Magna International, Decoma International Division, Brighton,
Michigan. The subject workers produce door panels and various
other injection molded parts for the automobile industry. The
workers are not separately identifiable by article.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Qualified Staffing and Aerotek.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined in January through October 2007.
The subject firm has shifted a portion of production of door
panels and injection molded parts to two countries (Mexico and
Canada) which are party to a free trade agreement with the United
States.
In accordance with Section 246 of 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 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 Mexico and Canada 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 Atreum-Brighton, a subsidiary of Magna
International, Decoma International Division, including on-
site leased workers from Qualified Staffing and Aerotek,
Brighton, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 30, 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.”
