I don't know if those are RIF or voluntary, but in 21 days, almost 90 people are no longer with MedSol.
And that doesn't count the 100+ PSG contractors they termed on 8/5. Seems they found even cheaper contractors.

Hasn't stopped them from trying.
Power is in numbers. It would take more than a singular person. I also was looking into the WARN act, and it stated that employers who fail to file the notice and to let the employees know 60 days in advance would be compensated up to 2 months in severance pay. If you ask me, that's better than the 2-4 weeks I've been hearing people receiving. Technically, it would be classified under the federal WARN act as they have laid off more than 100 people within a layoff at one time and a percentage of the company. If enough people report, something would be done and you'd be compensated.
This is coming from a current employee. Doesn't hurt to know the laws in your state.
You are that person
Been doing some research tonight. By law, the company was supposed to give a 60 day notice for any mass layoff or plant closure.
According to the Department of Labor website:
"The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act offers protection to workers, their families, and communities by requiring employers to provide notice 60 days in advance of covered plant closings and covered mass layoffs. Notice must be provided to either affected workers or their representatives (e.g., a labor union); to the Department of Labor; and to the appropriate unit of local government. The WARN Act is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor."
There's literally a list of companies who also either went through a massive layoff or are expecting one with the number of employees expected to be affected. They literally were supposed to contact the Department of Labor to get placed on that list, provide a 60 day notice to employees BEFORE the layoff occurred, etc.
The company is doing illegal acts at this point trying to stay under the radar.
My question is who is going to tip off the department of labor. At this point, I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be tipped off.
