UPDATE 02/02/2024
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action complaint on February 1, 2024, against JAF COMMUNICATIONS INC. d/b/a The Messenger (“Defendant”) seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the federal and New York Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Acts.
We contend the Defendant ordered mass layoffs beginning on or about January 31, 2024, and within 90 days of that date, without providing 60- or 90-days’ written notice as required by the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act and the New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“NY WARN”) Act, respectively.
The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
