I think you mean there is nothing that they would likely lose a suit over. There is plenty to sue over. Statistically, are the laid-off employees older, more male/female, or more minority representative than the national workforce? Were any verbal promises of no layoffs or ongoing work made by anyone to any employee in those states? Do any municipalities in those states have unique notification other laws around layoffs? Anyone can sue anyone for anything. If I sue you for emotional distress because I allege you like clowns and that bothers me, it will be thrown out (rightfully) more or less instantly. But a huge layoff at a national corporation? There will be thousands of nuisance suits and probably tens of maaaaybe suits given the complexity of state and federal laws.
