TRIMQUEST, LLC.
A SUBSIDIARY OF JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER, INC.
WALKER, 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 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a
secondarily affected worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements
of paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended,
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (b) of Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on November 3, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of TrimQuest, LLC., Walker, Michigan. The workers
produce automotive overhead systems.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Inc.
Employment at the subject firm declined during the period
from January to September 2008 when compared to the same period
in 2007.
TrimQuest, LLC., Walker, Michigan supplies component parts
for sport utility vehicles and trucks, and at least 20 percent
of its production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose
workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance.
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 subject 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 determine that workers of TrimQuest, LLC.,
Walker, Michigan qualify as adversely affected secondary workers
under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of TrimQuest, LLC., a subsidiary of Johnson
Controls, Inc., Walker, Michigan including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Inc., who become totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 31,
2007 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 at Washington, D.C., this 21st day of November 2008
