The spikes in interest coincide with days around store closures and days relevant to the WARN Act, which entitles workers to 60 days' pay when they suffer an employment loss due to location closures. Workers who have not yet been placed in new stores began receiving that pay on February 10th, said Walmart spokesperson Kory Lundberg. The company has "already extended transfer offers to more than 60% of affected associates" in the wake of the store closures, Lundberg said, and it expects "that number to keep growing over the next several weeks." If workers are not placed by the end of the 60-day period, they are eligible to receive a severance equal to a week of pay for every year of service to Walmart. Lundberg attributed the spikes in interest in Our Walmart's posts to news coverage about the closures. "There were a lot of stories written, so probably a lot of people heard about it and went to the site," he said.
