Spirit Layoff Suit Puts Spotlight on Labor Rights in Bankruptcy

June 22, 2026

In this article, Bloomberg Law reporter Angelica Serrano-Román covers the “high-profile example of the legal hurdles terminated employees face…”

Serrano-Román writes that approximately 17,000 terminated employees are now asserting claims under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act. According to the article, “the WARN Act has emerged in more than a dozen bankruptcy suits since last spring…”

In this comprehensive article, Jack Raisner, a co-founder of Raisner Roupinian LLP, explains that “A company might refrain from issuing [WARN] notices to avoid mass departures amid concerns about closures” and, “That’s one of the most painful things…When the motivations of the timing of WARN are controlled by the company acting in its own best interest.”

Raisner also added that “In our economy, it takes an average of at least three to four months to find other employment. A person who gets a WARN notice isn’t leaving the next day.”
