CANOO TECHNOLOGIES INC. WARN COMPLAINT FILED
UPDATE 02/24/2025
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action complaint on February 17, 2025, against Canoo, Inc., EV Global Holdco LLC, EV US Holdco Inc., Canoo Technologies Inc., Canoo Manufacturing, and Canoo Sales, LLC (referred to collectively as “Defendants”) seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act. In addition, we filed a complaint against Defendants for a violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) for unpaid insurance premiums.
We contend Defendants ordered mass layoffs starting on or about January 16, 2025, and within 90 days of that date, without providing 60 days’ written notice as required by the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act. We further contend Defendants violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) for unpaid premiums that were deducted from employees’ paychecks from 2023 until Defendants’ shutdown on or about January 16, 2025.
The case is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
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.
