ZENITH ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
A SUBSIDIARY OF LG ELECTRONICS, INC.
LINCOLNSHIRE, ILLINOIS

Negative Determination 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.
The investigation was initiated on October 5, 2004 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Zenith Electronics
Corporation, a subsidiary of LG Electronics, Inc., Lincolnshire,
Illinois. The workers perform research and development services,
as well as sales and marketing services. A small number of workers
provide legal services, and there was a single technical
writer/graphic artist.
The investigation revealed that Zenith Electronics
Corporation, a subsidiary of LG Electronics, Inc., Lincolnshire,
Illinois 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 domestically and
there must be a relationship between the workers' work and the
article produced by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision.
Although the petitioning worker group seeking certification
does support a firm or appropriate subdivision that produces an
article, the supported firm is located outside the United States.
The subject firm does not support any domestic manufacturing
operations.
In addition, 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 worker group must be certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the
workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot
be certified eligible for ATAA.


Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Zenith
Electronics Corporation, a subsidiary of LG Electronics, Inc.,
Lincolnshire, Illinois are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974,
and are also denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 3rd day of November 2004.
