Reading the Aramark WARN Record
With 7 separate WARN Act filings in this dataset, Aramark has one of the more extensive recorded layoff-notice histories, covering 1,028 workers from Dec 9, 2011 through Jul 22, 2021, and even that likely understates the real total (why). By total workers affected, Aramark ranks #11 of 777 tracked employers in VA. Among the 8 other Other Services employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 3,640 affected workers -- Aramark's 1,028 sits well below that group's typical scale. Filings span 4 states, most concentrated in VA (Other Services), so more than one state workforce agency and mini-WARN threshold applied depending on where each notice was filed.
Averaging 147 workers per notice, Aramark's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. With 7 separate recorded filings, this is not an isolated event, the cadence of notices points to recurring workforce adjustment tied to industry cycles, merger integration, or capacity right-sizing.
Workers on VA-based Aramark notices should contact the VA workforce agency directly, response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice.

This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
