UPDATE 8/31/11

On November 4, 2009, Outten & Golden filed suit against Corwood Laboratories, Inc., seeking to recover 60 days wages and benefits for former employees under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and the NY WARN Act, as well as unpaid vacation leave. We contend Corwood ordered mass layoffs on or about October 6, 2009 without providing the employees with advance written notice. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

The case was certified as a class action and notice of the case was mailed to the members of the class in August 2010. The parties are currently engaged in discovery, while simultaneously exploring settlement.

Generally, the WARN Act requires companies to provide their employees with 60 days written notice in advance of a mass layoff or plant closing. In the absence of such notice, employers may be liable to each affected employee for 60 days wages and benefits. To contact us regarding this matter, please call 1-877 4-OUTTEN and ask for Rene Roupinian or email her.
