A class action suit was filed last week by former employees of Archway & Mother's Cookie Company. The suit, filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware, alleges that the company is in violation of the The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires employers to provide notice 60 days in advance of covered plant closings and covered mass layoffs.
The lead plaintiff in the case, Jeff Austin, filed on behalf of nearly 300 other Archway employees, who were laid off without notice after the business shut its doors suddenly citing "unforeseen business circumstances."
The plaintiffs are seeking 60 days pay, vacation and benefits
