Reading the Verizon WARN Record
Verizon has 3 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 358 workers between Nov 20, 2025 and Nov 21, 2025. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, Verizon ranks #61 of 630 tracked employers in CA. Among the 8 other Information Technology employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 3,450 affected workers -- Verizon's 358 sits well below that group's typical scale. Filings span 2 states, most concentrated in CA (Information Technology), so more than one state workforce agency and mini-WARN threshold applied depending on where each notice was filed.
Averaging 119 workers per notice, Verizon's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. The 3 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
Workers on CA-based Verizon notices should contact the CA workforce agency directly, response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice.

This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
