INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM GOOD PEOPLE
INCLUDING WORKERS WHOSE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE (UI) WAGES
ARE REPORTED THROUGH REAL TIME STAFFING
AURORA, ILLINOIS

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance


In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on February 3, 2012, applicable to workers
of Cinram Distribution, LLC, a subsidiary of Cinram International
Income Fund, including on-site leased workers from Good People,
Aurora, Illinois. The workers are engaged in the supply of
optical media distribution services. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on February 21, 2012 (77 FR 9971).
At the request of Illinois State, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that workers leased from Good People employed
on-site at the Aurora, Illinois location of Cinram Distribution,
LLC, a subsidiary of Cinram International Income Fund had their
wages reported through a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax
account under the name Real Time Staffing.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased company imports of the supply of optical media
distribution.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,260 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers from Cinram Distribution, LLC, a
subsidiary of Cinram International Income Fund,
including on-site leased workers from Good People,
including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages are reported through Real Time Staffing, Aurora,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 20, 2011 through
February 3, 2014, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II
of the Trade Act of 1074, as amended.”

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers’ firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or threat
of separation and to the decline in the sales or production of
such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 23, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Cinram Distribution, LLC, a subsidiary of Cinram
International Income Fund, Aurora, Illinois (Cinram Distribution,
LLC). The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of optical media distribution services. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Good People.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers’ firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of services supplied by Cinram Distribution,
LLC have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
services supplied by Cinram Distribution, LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Cinram
Distribution, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cinram Distribution,
LLC, a subsidiary of Cinram International Income Fund, Aurora,
Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
optical media distribution services, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2273, I make the following certification:
“All workers of Cinram Distribution, LLC, a subsidiary of
Cinram International Income Fund, including on-site leased
workers from Good People, Aurora, Illinois, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 20, 2011 through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended.”
