Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action complaint on June 21, 2024, against The Beverage Works NY, Inc., dba The Beverage Works, (“Defendant”) seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act and 90 days’ wages and benefits under the New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“NY WARN”) Act (cumulatively, the “WARN Acts”).
We contended the Defendant ordered mass layoffs on or about June 3, 2024, and within 90 days of that date, without providing 60- or 90-days’ written notice as required by the respective WARN Acts.
The case was adjudicated in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
The certified class of eligible class members was comprised of former employees who worked at, reported to, or received assignments from Defendant’s facilities located in Brooklyn, Farmingdale, and Peekskill, NY who were terminated on June 3, 2024, or within 90 days of that date, as the result of a mass layoff or closing.
On March 7, 2025, the Court granted preliminary approval of a $700,000 class settlement. Notice of the terms of the settlement was sent by first class mail to all class members on March 28, 2025. Final approval of the settlement was granted on May 6, 2025.
Individual settlement checks were mailed to class members on June 26, 2025.
