A Kmart in California, with 102 employees, is shutting down just in time for Xmas!  Local news reports said the store began liquidating merchandise at the end of September, but only now has it become obvious the store is shutting down.  I checked the California WARN postings and discovered there are no Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notices from Kmart or Sears.  The federal WARN law says if 50 or more employees are affected you must issue a WARN, which should be made public by state officials.
