Reading the K-Mart WARN Record

Federal WARN Act filings place K-Mart on record with 1 notice covering 67 workers, spanning Jun 29, 2017 through Jun 29, 2017. 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 1 state, anchored in WA, in the Retail Trade sector, shapes which state workforce agencies received the filings and which state-level "mini-WARN" thresholds applied.

Averaging 67 workers per notice, K-Mart'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.

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 K-Mart 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 The record above reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
