A major employer is set to lay off hundreds of employees in the Emporia area. The city manager there calls it a “setback” for the community. The Kansas Department of Commerce (KDOC) shows on its website that a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) was filed by Tyson Food, Inc. on Dec. 2. It impacts 809 employees at the Tyson Fresh Meats location at 2101 West Sixth Street in Emporia. WARN notices are required by employers under federal law to provide advance warning to workers when a plant closure or mass layoffs are imminent. It is to help workers and their families find enough time to adjust to the situation and find new employment.
