UPDATE 06/07/2023
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action complaint on June 6, 2023, against Bitwise Industries, Inc., Alphaworks Technologies, LLC, Jake Soberal, and Irma Olguin, Jr. (“Defendants”) seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”) and the California Labor Code (“CAL-WARN Act”), in addition to unpaid wages, vacation pay, and penalties under applicable state wage laws.
We contend the Defendants ordered mass layoffs, plant closings, or termination of a covered establishment on or about May 29, 2023, and within 30 days of that date, without providing 60 days’ advance written notice as required by the WARN Act and the CAL-WARN Act. We further contend that Defendants failed to pay employees their wages in the weeks leading up to their termination. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
