The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (known appropriately as "WARN"), 29 U.S.C. 2101, was enacted by Congress in 1988 to provide employees with advance notice of a plant closing or mass layoff at their company. The WARN Act requires employers who are planning a plant closing or a mass layoff to give affected employees at least 60 days notice prior to any employment action.

Does this mean they violated the WARN Act and refuse to pay the first round of lay offs?
Anonymous92200: Mac has credentials and I have been talking to him since the El Reno District has put us on leave and eventually lay-off.
If I take on your warn act case there is not a retainer, not sure who is posting things about me, but I am happy to help. I spoke with some folks in Duncanville recently and I am putting together not just myself but a legal team of lawyers in Houston, to handle all of this cases. If we can help you we will, and if we can't we will let you know as soon as we figure it out. Please contact me if you want some legal help.

AMBULANCE CHASER- NO CREDINTIALS AND NOT IN IT TO WIN IT FOR THE HAL/BHI WORKERS** WANTS HUGE RETAINER FEE, PROMISES IN THE DARK-- KINDA LIKE JIM ADLER AND ALL THEM BOTTOM FEEDERS.. GET A GOOD ONE IF YOU CHOOSE THAT ROUTE....
Mac, they closed our plant is closed. We are on paid administrative leave until further notice. Is this still in violation of the WARN act? There was no notice whatsoever, and no option of transfer.
In Hal Egypt
compensation is randomly distributed some are given good deal and some are not due to HR department unfair.
Looks like the same person is posting on BHI and HAL. Trying to drum up business?
I think we absolutely have a case, they violated a number of clauses. Check this out: Blanton v Baker Hughes, Incorporated --- Filed: February 9, 2015 as 4:2015cv00365 --- Cause Of Action: WARN ACT --- Plaintiff: Frank Blanton (Represented by: Lance Clinton Blankenship), Presiding Judge: Kenneth M. Hoyt, Cause of Action: 29:2104 --- Court: Fifth Circuit › Texas › Texas Southern District Court, see more here: http://dockets.justia.com/docket/texas/txsdce/4:2015cv00365/1240457
Don't discount it. Remember Bill Clinton and his "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is".
The merger of Baker Hughes and Halliburton was not an unforseen market condition, nor was $40 a barrel oil.
Didn't read this link but I'm pretty sure they have an out for unforeseen market conditions. The key is how one defines "unforeseen". Personally, I would think the first round or two MAY qualify but a long range plan does not. Like stated earlier, HAL has a bunch of lawyers with nothing better to do than string a case out for a few years. I do know two people who refused the standard severance. One received 8 months pay. I don't remember what the other got but it was substantially more than offered.
Must be a shortage of ambulances to chase in Houston.
Yes I think many people have been laid off in a manner which violates the warn act. Best way to contact me is by email mac.mckeand@yahoo.com, my office number is 713 956 0023. The more people the better, I already have a few clients that meet the criteria. No cost to you unless we recover.

Mac - can you help us? If not, do you know an attorney who might want to take our case?
Can you help us?
Yeah, good luck suing BigRed! Guarantee they covered their ass before they laid yours off.
