		Whether the Quebecor employees suffered an "employment loss" on December 11 is immaterial to whether the employees were entitled to notice of the permanent plant closing on December 16.
		Quebecor argues that even if notice of the December 16 plant clos- ing was required, the December 16 notice was sufficient because the Quebecor employees did not suffer any employment loss until more than 60 days after December 16.
		Because the Quebecor employees suffered an "employment loss" as a result of the December 16, 1998 permanent closing of the Glen Burnie plant, for which Quebecor failed to provide 60 days notice as required by the WARN Act, the employees are "aggrieved employ- ees" within the meaning of the Act.
