Jevic Transportation, who recently discontinued operations and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, had laid off approximately 1,200 employees, of which about 1000 are truck drivers, allegedly without proper notification. The lawsuit, filed in Delaware federal court, is seeking WARN Act-required wages, salary, commissions, bonuses, accrued holiday and vacation pay, pension and 401(k) contributions and other benefits that would have been paid or covered during the notice period.[JEVIC AMENDED COMPLAINT FILED] Legal HelpIf you or a loved one has suffered damages in a similar case, please click the link below to send your complaint to a lawyer to evaluate your claim at no cost or obligation.Last updated on Jun-5-08 READ MORE [ Employment Settlements and Legal News ] |
