Question

A company with two factories learns that by using robots and other high-tech

equipment it can produce the same quantity with just one factory. It decides
to close one of its factories. Under the WARN Act, who must be notified of
this decision?
O A. The workers at both plants and the state and federal departments
of labor
OB. The workers of the plant to be closed, the local government, and
the state's department of labor
O C. The workers at the plant to be closed, the local government, and
the state's dislocated-worker unit
O D. The workers at both plants, the local governments of both
communities, and both states' dislocated-worker units

Answer 1

O C. The workers at the plant to be closed, the local government, and

the state's dislocated-worker unit

Step-by-step explanation:

The WARN Act seeks to offer protection to workers, their families, and communities by compelling employers to give a 60 notice day in advance of a planned plant closure or intended mass layoffs. The advance notice provides workers and their families time to adjust to the pending loss of employment. It accords workers some time to seek alternative employment or acquire new skills to compete for jobs.

Apart from the affected workers, The WARN act requires employers to notify the state dislocated worker units. This facilitates dislocated worker assistance to be availed promptly to the affected worker. The local government representatives should also be notified.
