Reading the General Aluminum WARN Record
General Aluminum has 2 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 146 workers between Jan 9, 2009 and Aug 29, 2025. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, General Aluminum ranks #261 of 805 tracked employers in IN. Among the 8 other Manufacturing employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,675 affected workers -- General Aluminum's 146 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 73 workers per notice, General Aluminum'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.
