WARN law on a store closure, and being forced to resign in lieu of being transferred to a store approximately 40 miles away for duration of warn noti

I am not sure if you have a question.  The WARN act is a federal law that requires notice of certain types of plant closings and mass layoffs.  It is limited to specific types of employers.  Additionally, is not an employment discriimination or retataliation law; it is simply a notice law.  If a covered employer fails to give a covered employee the appropriate notice as required, then the employer will be liable for backpay and benefits of upto 60 days (at most - although there are separate notice requirements for local government).   There are several exceptions and exemptions including those surrounding transfers or offer of transfer for affected employees.
