Reading the LEAR WARN Record
Federal WARN Act filings place LEAR on record with 1 notice covering 121 workers, spanning Sep 3, 2008 through Sep 3, 2008. 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 IN, in the Manufacturing sector, shapes which state workforce agencies received the filings and which state-level "mini-WARN" thresholds applied.
Averaging 121 workers per notice, LEAR'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.
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 IN-based LEAR notices should contact the IN 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 The record above reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
Understanding LEAR's Layoff History
