Reading the International Paper WARN Record

Federal WARN Act filings place International Paper on record with 3 notices covering 208 workers, spanning Jan 14, 2010 through Nov 14, 2025. Because the WARN Act only captures events that affect 50 or more workers at sites of 100+ employees, this count sits at the upper band of the employer's layoff activity — smaller reductions, contractor non-renewals, and voluntary separations are invisible to this dataset. The geographic footprint of 2 states, anchored in WA, in the Manufacturing sector, shapes which state workforce agencies received the filings and which state-level "mini-WARN" thresholds applied.

Averaging 69 workers per notice, International Paper's filings fall into a pattern that suggests targeted team or department cuts that still crossed the WARN reporting threshold. The 3 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.

For workers, the practical layer under these numbers is time: the WARN Act's 60-day notification window triggers eligibility for state unemployment insurance, COBRA health-coverage continuation, and rapid-response services from the state workforce agency that received the filing. Workers on WA-based International Paper notices should contact the WA workforce agency directly — response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice. The record above reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
