Daniel Defense, Inc. is on the receiving end of a proposed class action that claims it executed a mass layoff without warning, in violation of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (WARN Act). According to the suit, the defendant ran two facilities in Georgia from which it terminated a total of approximately 160 employees between September 29, 2017 and October 2, 2017, including the plaintiff. The complaint argues that under federal law, the defendant was required to provide 60 days’ notice of the mass layoff and failed to do so. The suit is seeking 60 days’ worth of wages, vacation pay, 401(k) contributions, payment of medical expenses, and any other employee benefits of which the laid-off employees were allegedly deprived.
