TDK ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker 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.
The investigation was initiated on April 5, 2004 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
TDK Electronics Corporation, Anaheim, California. The workers of
the subject facility package and distribute media products.
The investigation revealed that TDK Electronics Corporation,
Anaheim, California, does not produce an article within the meaning
of Section 222(a)(2) of the Act. In order to be considered
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, the worker group seeking certification (or
on whose behalf certification is being sought) must work for a
"firm" or appropriate subdivision that produces an article and
there must be a relationship between the workers' work and the
article produced by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision.
The packaging and distribution workers described above do not
support a firm or appropriate subdivision that produces an article
domestically and thus the worker group can not be considered import
impacted or affected by a shift in production of an article.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of TDK
Electronics Corporation, Anaheim, California are denied eligibility
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 2nd day of June 2004.
