Mass layoffs or plant closings in violation of
the federal WARN Act and related state laws victimize
employees. Berger & Montague's Employment Law Group is
available to advise and represent laid off workers.
The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act ("WARN Act") and related state laws
protect workers, their families and communities by requiring
employers to provide sixty days of advance notice of covered
plant closings and covered mass layoffs. The legally mandated WARN
notice must be provided to affected workers or their
representatives (e.g., a labor union); to the state
dislocated worker unit; and to the appropriate unit of local
government. A number of states, including California, Illinois, New
Jersey, and New York, have their own versions of the federal WARN
Act, which differ slightly from the federal statute.
Across the country, when employers have failed to provide
statutorily required notice to affected workers or their
representatives, Berger & Montague can prosecute these
violations as class action cases. We aggressively pursue WARN Act
violations wherever and whenever they occur.
No Fees Without Recovery
Berger & Montague employment cases are
often litigated on a contingent fee basis, so plaintiffs and
the class do not pay attorneys' fees or court costs unless there is
a recovery.
