Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 25, 2020 by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on
behalf of workers Elo Touch Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of
Elo Holding, Inc., including on-site leased workers from QES
Solutions and Masis Staffing Solutions, Rochester, New York (Elo
Touch Solutions). The subject firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of touchscreen solutions and software
services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Elo Touch Solutions have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with those supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Elo Touch Solutions.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Elo Touch Solutions
meet the worker group certification criteria under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Elo Touch Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of
Elo Holding, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
QES Solutions and Masis Staffing Solutions, Rochester, New
York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 24, 2019 through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 10th day of April 2020.
