Companies with 50+ workers or $2M payroll would have to give 90 days' written notice before mass layoffs or site closings, up from 60 days and covering far more employers than today. Workers who don't get proper notice could collect back pay plus extra damages, and a national public database would track every layoff notice filed.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Fair Warning Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Latest action on H.R. 5761: Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Who this affects: This bill touches nearly every worker at a mid-size or larger company, every employer that might restructure or downsize, and the government agencies that help laid-off workers find new jobs. It is especially significant for part-time and remote employees who weren't consistently protected under the old WARN Act.
Why this matters: Losing a job without warning can upend a family's finances overnight. This bill tries to give workers real lead time to line up a new job, apply for benefits, or enroll in retraining before the paycheck stops. It also makes it harder for companies to quietly cut jobs in small batches or hide behind corporate structures to avoid responsibility.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
