Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action suit on June 10, 2021, against Katerra Inc., (“Katerra”), seeking to recover 60 days wages and benefits for former employees under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification and its state law counterparts, California Labor Code §§ 1400 – 1408, and the New Jersey Millville Dallas Airmotive Plant Job Loss Notification Act, PL. 2007, c.212, C.34:21-2 (“New Jersey WARN Act”) (collectively, the “WARN Acts”) and for unpaid vacation pay under the New Jersey Law. We contended Katerra ordered mass layoffs at its facilities on or about June 4, 2021, without providing its employees with 60 days’ advance written notice. The case was adjudicated in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
The certified class of eligible class members is comprised of former employees who worked at or reported to one of Defendant’s Facilities who were terminated without cause on or about June 4, 2021, and within 30 days of that date or as the reasonably foreseeable consequence of the mass layoffs and/or plant closings ordered by Defendant on or about June 4, 2021.
On June 18, 2025, the Court granted preliminary approval of a $3.8 Million settlement, subject to final approval at a fairness hearing scheduled for September 15, 2025, and notice of the settlement was sent by first class mail to all class members on July 2, 2025.
On September 11, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court granted final approval of the settlement.
Individual settlement checks were sent by the settlement administrator to class members on October 17, 2025.
