UPDATE 8/31/11

On March 6, 2009, Outten & Golden filed suit against Monaco Coach Corporation seeking to recover 60 days wages and benefits for former employees of Monaco Coach under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the WARN Act). We contend Monaco Coach ordered mass layoffs on or about March 2, 2009 without providing the employees with advance written notice. The case is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

On June 29, 2009 the estate converted to Chapter 7 and a Trustee was appointed. In September 13, 2010 the parties participated in mediation and reached a tentative settlement of the class claims subject to Court approval. The parties are finalizing the settlement, which will include the filing of papers with the Court seeking preliminary approval and requesting notice of the terms of the settlement be mailed to the settlement class.

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.
