Reading the Eaton WARN Record
Eaton has 3 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 267 workers between Mar 10, 2009 and Sep 9, 2021. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, Eaton ranks #125 of 805 tracked employers in IN. Among the 8 other Manufacturing employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,675 affected workers -- Eaton's 267 sits well below that group's typical scale. Filings span 2 states, most concentrated in IN (Manufacturing), so more than one state workforce agency and mini-WARN threshold applied depending on where each notice was filed.
Averaging 89 workers per notice, Eaton's filings fall into a pattern that suggests targeted team or department cuts that still crossed the WARN reporting threshold. The 3 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
Workers on IN-based Eaton notices should contact the IN 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This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
