PREVIOUS UPDATE
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.

WARN ACT
Raisner Roupinian LLP will provide you with information regarding your rights in this case. The federal WARN Act requires companies with at least 100 full-time employees to provide them with 60 days’ written notice in advance of a mass layoff or plant closing. Additionally, certain states also have WARN Acts.
Without the required notice, an employer may be liable for 60 days’ wages and benefits to each affected employee.
