Reading the Yellow WARN Record
Yellow has 4 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 655 workers between Mar 16, 2023 and Aug 15, 2023. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, Yellow ranks #18 of 468 tracked employers in WI. Among the 8 other Transportation & Warehousing employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,955 affected workers -- Yellow's 655 sits well below that group's typical scale. Filings span 3 states, most concentrated in WI (Transportation & Warehousing), so more than one state workforce agency and mini-WARN threshold applied depending on where each notice was filed.
Averaging 164 workers per notice, Yellow's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. The 4 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
Workers on WI-based Yellow notices should contact the WI workforce agency directly, response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice.
