Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

WARNing

Aggregate loss of 500 in a 90-day period would trigger a violation of the WARN act. Nobody is getting 60 days notice. Has Windstream has complied with that threshold?

From what I read before, for total remote positions, meaning your title would even show remote, then I don't believe that counts towards it.

I would think that "more than 50 in one location" might apply to "virtual" employees? And there were more than 50 of those I'm sure. Or does it separate virtual employees by state?

WARN doesn't count contractors

I also think there is a loop hole given the headquarters in little rock and the State of Arkansas has its own warn rules and they arent make public

There are so many to come. They did me a favor. Now the constant worry is finally over. Don’t trust a word you are being told. They are going to part the entire company and sell it all off. NOBODY is safe except the greedy F’s at the top. If you are management or a project manager, you will be gone. It is only a matter of time before you get called.

If a plant closing or a mass layoff results in fewer than 50 workers losing their jobs at a single employment site;

If 50 to 499 workers lose their jobs and that number is less than 33% of the employer's total, active workforce at a single employment site

There are exceptions to the WARN act. It is.... really easy to get around if you don't have centralized offices. A single job site under the WARN act would be a CO or call center.
