[edit] Operations
Although all La-Z-Boy products are made in the USA, the manufacturing process involves the collaboration of 15 independent divisions operating manufacturing facilities in nine states in the U.S and in Canada along with manufacturing operations in Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Thailand.
Due to concerns expressed by a small number of employees at the Dayton, Tennessee, manufacturing facility, a very limited amount of union organizational activity has occurred therein.
