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 June 18, 2012 on behalf of workers of Crawford &
Company, ICT Storage & DR Administration Branch, ICT Mainframe
Systems Branch, ICT UNIX Administration Branch, ICT Messaging
Administration Branch, ICT Communications Branch, ICT Data
Center Operations Branch, ICT Production Control Branch, and
ICT Desktop Support Branch, Tucker, Georgia (TA-W-81,729),
Crawford & Company, ICT Storage & DR Administration Branch,
ICT Messaging Administration Branch, ICT Production Control
Branch, and ICT Desktop Support Branch, Lake Zurich, Illinois
(TA-W-81,729A), Crawford & Company, ICT Production Control
Branch and ICT Desktop Support Branch, Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-
81,729B), Crawford & Company, ICT Production Control Branch
and ICT Desktop Support Branch, Sunrise, Florida (TA-W-
81,729C) (Crawford & Company). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the supply of internal and technical
support services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Crawford & Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Crawford & Company,
ICT Storage & DR Administration Branch, ICT Mainframe Systems
Branch, ICT UNIX Administration Branch, ICT Messaging
Administration Branch, ICT Communications Branch, ICT Data
Center Operations Branch, ICT Production Control Branch, and

of internal and technical support services 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:
