About 12 years ago I was working for a company in the midwest, they were going to close our site because they said they just weren't making enough money (this was a lie). They hit us with the WARN act, gave us notice, and said some people would be relocated into remote positions at the end while everyone else would be fired without severance. We were one of the highest performing sites, so this was unexpected and sad. A site a couple hundred miles to the south unionized and told the company to keep the site open or they would all walk off the job, the company agreed to keep the site open, and my site was closed and I was out of a job along with most of my coworkers in a small town.
