Reading the Broadcom WARN Record
Broadcom has 4 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 585 workers between Nov 7, 2018 and Oct 17, 2025. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, Broadcom ranks #33 of 777 tracked employers in VA. Among the 8 other Manufacturing employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,675 affected workers -- Broadcom's 585 sits well below that group's typical scale. Filings span 3 states, most concentrated in VA (Manufacturing), so more than one state workforce agency and mini-WARN threshold applied depending on where each notice was filed.
Averaging 146 workers per notice, Broadcom's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. The 4 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
Workers on VA-based Broadcom 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This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
