Reading the Berry Plastics Corporation WARN Record
Federal WARN Act filings place Berry Plastics Corporation on record with 2 notices covering 177 workers, spanning Sep 10, 2012 through Nov 20, 2013. Because the WARN Act only captures events that affect 50 or more workers at sites of 100+ employees, this count sits at the upper band of the employer's layoff activity — smaller reductions, contractor non-renewals, and voluntary separations are invisible to this dataset. The geographic footprint of 1 state, anchored in WA, in the Other Services sector, shapes which state workforce agencies received the filings and which state-level "mini-WARN" thresholds applied.
Averaging 89 workers per notice, Berry Plastics Corporation's filings fall into a pattern that suggests targeted team or department cuts that still crossed the WARN reporting threshold. The 2 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
For workers, the practical layer under these numbers is time: the WARN Act's 60-day notification window triggers eligibility for state unemployment insurance, COBRA health-coverage continuation, and rapid-response services from the state workforce agency that received the filing. Workers on WA-based Berry Plastics Corporation notices should contact the WA workforce agency directly — response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice. The record above reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
