RNYK LLC and J & R Electronics Inc. (which do business as J&R Music World, J&R Computer World, J&R Express, and J&R) have been named as co-defendants with Cupola Apts, LLC in a proposed class action lawsuit filed in New York.

The suit centers around the defendants’ closing of their New York City facility that reportedly occurred between January and April 2014, during which approximately 100 employees were allegedly terminated without proper notice. Citing potential violations of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and the New York WARN Act, the lawsuit alleges the plaintiff and other similarly situated employees were unlawfully not given notice of the mass layoff at least 60 days in advance (or at least 90 days per the NY WARN Act) and are owed 60 days’ worth of wages and benefits.
