The WARN Act is federal legislation that offers protection to workers, their families and communities by requiring employers to provide notice 60 days in advance of a covered-business closing and covered-business mass layoff.

The company said in the WARN notice it was unable to provide 60 days, because talks broke down with the supplier suddenly and that it does not have sufficient funds to support 60 additional days of employment for all of its Reading employees.
