UPDATE 5/7/10

On April 6, 2009, Outten & Golden filed suit against Mid-States Express, Inc., seeking to recover 60 days wages and benefits for former employees of Mid-States under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the WARN Act). We contend Mid-States ordered mass on or about March 26, 2009 without providing the employees with advance written notice. The case is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

The case is currently stayed until July 6, 2010 to determine the assets in the estate. Our case is set for a status conference on July15, 2010.

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 René Roupinian or email her.
