Reading the GE Healthcare WARN Record
GE Healthcare has 2 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 189 workers between Jun 30, 2020 and Jul 28, 2020. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, GE Healthcare ranks #84 of 468 tracked employers in WI. Among the 8 other Health Care & Social Assistance employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 888 affected workers -- GE Healthcare's 189 sits well below that group's typical scale. Filings span 2 states, most concentrated in WI (Health Care & Social Assistance), so more than one state workforce agency and mini-WARN threshold applied depending on where each notice was filed.
Averaging 95 workers per notice, GE Healthcare'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.
Workers on WI-based GE Healthcare notices should contact the WI 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This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
