History
The WARN Act was passed by a veto-proof Democratic majority in Congress and became law without President Reagan's signature. The WARN Act became law in August 1988 and took effect in 1989.
In light of sequestration set to take effect after January 2, 2013, the Obama Administration has issued guidance saying "it is neither necessary nor appropriate for Federal contractors to provide WARN Act notice to employees 60 days in advance in advance of the potential sequestration because of uncertainty about whether sequestration will occur." The American defense industry is concerned that employees who feel threatened by WARN notices may cause them to lose some of their best talent, even if sequestration is avoided.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
