We are not all at stores, Wireline vs Wireless.
WARN only applies if 1/3 of the work force was impacted in a single location (it wasn't ) or if 250 employees from a single location were impacted (unlikely, but if that happened it would apply).
There might be a few stores that fall into this, but overall most people are not going to get anything. If you do fit the criteria then they have an online portal to report it. You will get backpay but its not going to be everyone in NY.
No thanks I’ll hold out and get my 60 days of backpay and benefits
Being upset because you were fired doesn't mean anyone broke the law. When I get the boot I'm going to think "I should look for another job" (although at my age maybe I'll retire) and not "how do I get the people I'm mad at in trouble for imagined crimes".
You’re wasting your time. Use this time to find another job
There are no penalties for a company not to contact the dol
Doing the same in CA. Everyone needs to do this.
