Indiana

Cardinal Metal Finishing, LLC is the defendant in a proposed class action centered on the now-shuttered company’s alleged failure to provide employees with at least 60 days’ advance notice before engaging in a mass layoff.

The lawsuit, filed in Indiana, states the defendant operated a facility in Kokomo until terminating roughly 80 employees without cause in September 2018. The case charges the workers should have received notification of the impending layoff under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act of 1988. The WARN Act, according to the suit, calls for mandatory notice of a mass layoff to be provided to workers by any company with 100 or more employees who work in aggregate at least 4,000 hours per week.
