UPDATE 03/18/2026
COURT CERTIFIES CLASS ACTION
On December 2, 2025, the Court granted preliminary approval of up to a $3.5 Million settlement of the WARN class action. Notably, the Court also certified the WARN class, appointed the Plaintiffs as the class representatives, and Raisner Roupinian LLP as Class Counsel.
The certified class consists of former employees who were involuntarily separated from employment on or about June 6, 2025. The settlement administrator mailed notice of the class action settlement to class members on December 12, 2025.
Subsequently, the court granted final approval to the settlement on February 11, 2026.
Ultimately, the amount of the class settlement is dependent on litigation proceeds by the bankruptcy estate. An initial $500,000 distribution, less fees and expenses, will be made to class members by the end of April 2026. Individual settlement amounts will vary.
We will post additional information here as it becomes available.

PREVIOUS UPDATE
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action adversary proceeding complaint on June 12, 2025, against Powin, LLC, Powin Energy Operating Holdings, LLC, and Powin Energy Operating, LLC (“Defendants”). We seek to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act.
We contend Defendants terminated employees without cause as part of, or as the result of, mass layoffs or plant closings ordered by Defendants beginning on or about June 6, 2025, without providing 60 days’ written notice as required by the WARN Act.
The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (Trenton) is adjudicating this class action.
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 Act laws.
Without the required notice, an employer may be liable for 60 days’ wages and benefits to each affected employee.
