Reading the Eli Lilly WARN Record
Eli Lilly's single WARN Act filing in this dataset covers 191 workers, dated Nov 2, 2009. A lone filing is the most common shape in the recorded dataset, though the true worker count can run higher (why). By total workers affected, Eli Lilly ranks #189 of 805 tracked employers in IN. Among the 8 other Manufacturing employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,675 affected workers -- Eli Lilly's 191 sits well below that group's typical scale. Every recorded filing was reported to IN's workforce agency, in the Manufacturing sector -- a single-state footprint, unlike the multi-state pattern common among larger employers.
Averaging 191 workers per notice, Eli Lilly's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. This single notice marks a discrete restructuring event rather than a sustained pattern, though workforce changes below the 50-worker WARN floor may have occurred without disclosure.
Workers on IN-based Eli Lilly 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This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
