Reading the Ultra Foods WARN Record
Ultra Foods has 2 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 313 workers between Apr 18, 2017 and Jul 18, 2017. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, Ultra Foods ranks #106 of 805 tracked employers in IN. Among the 8 other Retail Trade employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,555 affected workers -- Ultra Foods's 313 sits well below that group's typical scale. Every recorded filing was reported to IN's workforce agency, in the Retail Trade sector -- a single-state footprint, unlike the multi-state pattern common among larger employers.
Averaging 157 workers per notice, Ultra Foods'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 IN-based Ultra Foods 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.
