Reading the Forman Mills WARN Record
Forman Mills's single WARN Act filing in this dataset covers 33 workers, dated Jun 20, 2023. 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, Forman Mills ranks #374 of 468 tracked employers in WI. Among the 8 other Retail Trade employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,555 affected workers -- Forman Mills's 33 sits well below that group's typical scale. Every recorded filing was reported to WI's workforce agency, in the Retail Trade sector -- a single-state footprint, unlike the multi-state pattern common among larger employers.
Averaging 33 workers per notice, Forman Mills's filings fall into a pattern that suggests targeted team or department cuts that still crossed the WARN reporting threshold. 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.
