Quick comment and seeking clarification. If there is a mass layoff, doesn’t Goodyear have to issue a WARN notice? If they don’t, how are they skirting the law?

There are loopholes in the WARN notice criteria in Ohio. Companies can easily dance around those "legalities" armed with their platoon of lawyers:
~“If one or more facilities or operating units in a given location anticipate a shutdown that will affect more than 50 workers AND last more than 30 days.”
And a mass layoff is:
“If a series of layoffs over a 30 day period will result in the loss of 500 or more employees, WARN Act Notice must be given. Also, if a series of layoffs of more than 50 or less than 500 employees over a 30 day period will result in a loss of 1/3rd of the workforce, WARN notice must be given.”~

Only way to find out whether they are skirting the law or not is checking for WARN notices during a mass layoff. So, is there a "mass layoff" happening in Ohio? Otherwise, hard to tell.
