United States Ninth Circuit

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act), which prohibits an employer from ordering a mass layoff without giving 60 days' notice, does not apply to a government-ordered mass layoff of employees who worked for a private employer as airport security screeners until the U.S. government federalized airport security services and took over operations at their airport.
