A proposed class action against REN Media Group USA, Inc. takes issue with the defendant’s alleged failure to provide employees 60 days’ notice of their termination as a result of a plant shutdown. The case alleges that the defendant closed its Clearwater, Florida location in November 2017, terminating approximately 50 employees – at least 33 percent of the plant’s full-time workforce. The suit argues that employees should have been provided with 60 days’ notice of their termination in accordance with the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (WARN Act). Because of the defendant’s conduct, the complaint attests, workers were denied 60 days’ worth of wages, commissions, bonuses, accrued vacation pay, 401(k) contributions, health insurance coverage, and various other employee benefits that should have been protected under the WARN Act.
