Of interest, Remington has notified the New York State Department of Labor Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification system that they may be laying off workers due to a plant closure in September. The notice claims all 717 of 717 total employees will be affected, and the workforce adjustment class is “possible plant closing/possible plant layoff.”
NY DoL WARN: Remington Notification if potential plant closure and layoffs
Searching the notification database for 2017 and 2018, there were no Remington notices on record for the previous bankruptcy filing - which largely makes sense, since the potential buyers were known.
Largely, this notification is assumed to be satisfying a requirement such they’re entering bankruptcy protection without an identified buyer, with expectation the company would fold in the next 60 days if a buoy isn’t found, either buyer or bailout.
