Paramount Sued by Ex-Workers Over Mass Layoffs Without Notice
Hundreds of workers at the company were laid off last month as it aims to slash 15 percent of its workforce.
The proposed class action, filed in New York federal court on Thursday, alleges that Paramount failed to give more than 300 employees proper notice of their terminations in violation of the state’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires at least 90 days notice of a mass layoff. On Sept. 24, Paramount started “phase two” of its reductions as part of a sweeping plan to cut 15 percent of its U.S.-based workforce in pursuit of $500 million in cost savings. The workers seek wages, salary, commissions, bonuses, accrued holiday pay and benefits over a 60-day period that would’ve been paid out if Paramount complied with the law, according to the complaint.
