Among the 8 other Other Services employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 3,640 affected workers -- Global Safety Textiles (GST)'s 130 sits well below that group's typical scale. Every recorded filing was reported to VA's workforce agency, in the Other Services sector -- a single-state footprint, unlike the multi-state pattern common among larger employers.
Averaging 130 workers per notice, Global Safety Textiles (GST)'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.
