If EDMC is going to lay off at least 30% of their current employees then aren't they required to give those employees warning per the Worker Adjustment and Retraining notification act? Tomorrow is a day of warning or a final workday?

VA us at will. No warning needed, no reason.
Pa is an "at will" state. They are not required to provide any notice and can let you go for any reason at any time. Sucks to be you.
Adding to my post about exceptions to the WARN act
Section 639.9
An employer must have been actively seeking capital or business at the time that 60-day notice would have been required. That is, the employer must have been seeking financing or refinancing through the arrangement of loans, the issuance of stocks, bonds, or other methods of internally generated financing; or the employer must have been seeking additional money, credit, or business through any other commercially reasonable method
There you go, EDMC' exception.
599- Correct. EDMC slides around the law with WARN (I know find it hard to believe right!). Don't think because you didn't see WARN notices posted that layoffs will not happen tomorrow. WARN has not been filed for ANY of the past 15+ layoffs, don't expect it to change now.
There are exceptions to the WARN act that do not require advance notice.
