Company: Diverse Facility Solutions, Inc.
- Date: September 30, 2025 (WARN report indicates 276, but company plans point to 191)
- Laid off: ~191 to 276
The layoffs stem from the cancellation of its janitorial services contract with Chicago Public Schools. Though the WARN notice lists 276 workers being laid off, the company clarified it intends to lay off about 191 employees, transferring many others to a different union. There is also a legal concern: a law firm is investigating whether Diverse Facility Solutions met the required 60-day notice under the WARN Act before initiating the mass layoff. The company provides facility management and janitorial services.
