April 23 (Reuters) - Tesla will lay off 2,688

employees at its Texas factory, the electric vehicle maker said

in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice

on Monday.

The WARN Act of 1988 is a U.S. labor law that requires

companies with 100 or more employees to notify 60 days ahead of

planned closings or mass layoffs.
