Reading the Kohler WARN Record
Kohler has 2 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 316 workers between Apr 8, 2019 and Apr 16, 2024. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, Kohler ranks #108 of 2223 tracked employers in TX. Among the 8 other Retail Trade employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,555 affected workers -- Kohler's 316 sits well below that group's typical scale. Every recorded filing was reported to TX's workforce agency, in the Retail Trade sector -- a single-state footprint, unlike the multi-state pattern common among larger employers.
Averaging 158 workers per notice, Kohler's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. 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 TX-based Kohler notices should contact the TX workforce agency directly, response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice.
