Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof,
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to
the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.

The investigation was initiated on February 11, 2002 in
response to a petition filed by the International Union of
Electronic, Electrical, Salaried Machine and Furniture Workers,
Local 748 on behalf of workers at Cabinet Works LLC, Jefferson
City, Tennessee (TA-W-40,804) and Distinctive Woodworks LLC,
Jefferson City, Tennessee (TA-W-40,804A). The workers produced
television cabinets.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.


The investigation revealed that the subject firms did not
import television cabinets during the relevant period. A
Department of Labor survey of the subject firms' major declining
customer also revealed no increase in imports of television
cabinets during the period under investigation.











Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers at Cabinet
Works LLC, Jefferson City, Tennessee (TA-W-40,804) and Distinctive
Woodworks LLC, Jefferson City, Tennessee (TA-W-40,804A) engaged in
employment related to the production of television cabinets, are
denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 28th day of February, 2002.
