• Record facts with dates and sources: closure announcements, layoff notices, changes in services or prices.
  • Check WARN notices. Employers with 100 or more employees generally must give 60 days’ notice of mass layoffs or closures, and states post these notices.
  • Collect people’s accounts only with consent, and let them choose whether to be named.
  • Stick to what you can document; avoid claims about motives you can’t support.
