Summary
West Fraser, Inc. notified the Georgia Office of Workforce Development of a decision to conduct a mass layoff at its Augusta, Georgia facility. The firm is reported to be laying off 130 employees, and Strauss Borrelli PLLC is investigating whether West Fraser failed to provide the 60 days' notice required under the federal WARN Act. The article frames this as a WARN notice/layoff filing and outreach to potentially affected employees for legal remedies, rather than describing completed terminations. West Fraser is a Canada-headquartered producer of lumber and engineered wood products; the notice prompted the law firm to solicit contacts from impacted workers to assess potential WARN Act violations.
