Why haven’t they sent the letters already if they intend to furlough? What’s it cost to send a letter?
They only need 60 days notice for a WARN letter. Our CBA says that those will need 90, but not more than 120 days notice. If this fails, I’d expect the CBA furlough notices to go out as soon as early October for January furloughs. It doesn’t cost anything to send a letter, but there is a narrow window for when they can go out.
