United sending layoff notices to nearly half of US employees

CHICAGO (AP) — United Airlines will send layoff warnings to 36,000 employees – nearly half its U.S. staff – in the clearest signal yet of how deeply the virus outbreak is hurting the airline industry.
The outlook for a recovery in air travel has dimmed in just the past two weeks, as infection rates rise in much of the U.S. and some states imposed new quarantine requirements.
United officials said Wednesday that they still hope to limit the number of layoffs by offering early retirement, and that the 36,000 number is a worst case scenario. The notices being sent to employees this month are meant to comply with 60-day warning ahead of mass job cuts.

ALK, DAL, and LUV all down right now.
Weird because somebody has to be the airlines and those are in less trouble.

In my mind, a lay-off notice is different than a lay-off warning. Am I wrong or is that the same thing?

Legally you can’t have mass layoffs without notice so this is just to comply in case it’s necessary.

Yeah, my friend is a flight attendant and she got her furlough notice yesterday.
She's hopeful that she'll be called back as early as March, but it's just a waiting game, obviously.

Under the WARN Act, if you are an employer of a certain size, laying off a certain number of employees (I didn't bother to look up the numbers), you must give them 60 days notice of the layoff or pay them the difference. If you give them 30 days notice, then you'd have to pay them for the other 30 days. Most employers just give 60 days notice.
