There is no violation of WARN!

WARN requires a reduction of the LOCAL work force greater than 30%.

To simplify, that has to be more than 30% of the workforce in each camp, not company wide.

You can rest assured that the HAL legal staff are on high alert. Every name for every round of layoffs must receive approval from HAL Legal.

You have nothing. It's called life, and it isn't all roses all the time.

Also, if you were asked to sign a separation agreement (for employees with 4 or more years of service, or those employees who are over the age of 40) you are essentially signing that you waive your rights to a law suit.

You remember that e-mail from Lesar and Miller yesterday, that covers WARN. That was the warning required.

The severance you agreed to receive is your way of agreeing that you have been made whole and that the company owes you nothing more.

That's what now. End of story. Take some time to process if you can afford to do so, then find another job. We all chose this industry, if you didn't know this could happen consider this a learning lesson. After all the other rounds of layoffs, you should have seen the writing on the wall. Anyone who doesn't have a contingency plan is a fool at this point!

Duncan manufacturing layed off over 400. That's 30% or better. What now?

Thank you for coping my response and making your own post. Nice to see that some people get it, but you should also mention that you didn't write it.

Although I suppose there is no plagiarism when it's from an anonymous site, hua?

Either way, I hope people read this and understand it. While it stinks what's happening to everyone, it is just life. Remember, it's the industry we chose!
