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 May 22, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of 9380-3955 Quebec Inc. dba E2IP TECHNOLOGIES USA, a
subsidiary of TECHNOLOGIES E2IP INC. dba E219 TECHNOLOGIES
INC., including on-site leased workers from Always There
Staffing, Bigfork, Minnesota (hereafter referred to as
"E2IP").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of printed electronics.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in E2IP 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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the printed electronics
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at E2IP.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of 9380-3955 Quebec Inc.
dba E2IP TECHNOLOGIES USA, a subsidiary of TECHNOLOGIES E2IP
INC. dba E219 TECHNOLOGIES INC., including on-site leased
workers from Always There Staffing, Bigfork, Minnesota, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of printed
electronics, 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 9380-3955 Quebec Inc. dba E2IP
TECHNOLOGIES USA, a subsidiary of TECHNOLOGIES E2IP INC.
dba E219 TECHNOLOGIES INC., including on-site leased
workers from Always There Staffing, Bigfork, Minnesota,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 21, 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 4th day of August 2020.
