Plant Closings

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), Public Law 100-379 (29 U.S.C. 2101 et seq.), requires certain employers to provide notice 60 days in advance of covered plant closings and covered mass layoffs (of employees subject to the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act). Notice must be made to either the affected workers or their representatives (e.g., a labor union), to the EDWAA Unit at TWC, and to the appropriate unit of local government.
