Plant Closings: Information on Advance Notice and Assistance to Dislocated Workers

摘要

The report responds to an April 1, 1987, request for information on advance notice and assistance provided to workers dislocated as the result of plant closings and permanent layoffs. Specifically, it (1) describes a survey of establishments where closures and permanent layoffs occurred, (2) provides an estimate of the extent of worker dislocation resulting from plant closings and permanent layoffs, and (3) provides information on the length of advance notice and financial and reemployment assistance provided to the affected workers. The report is based on information being developed for a broad-based review of plant closings and employer assistance, which will be completed soon.
