Why didn’t employees get more notice? Why wasn’t WARN Act triggered?

  Company shutdown != layoff.

    Yes it does though? The legal entity of the company still exists, it’s just no longer conducting business or paying employees. Thats a mass layoff. The California version of the WARN Act explicitly covers terminating business operations.

      If the company is actually shutting down (is it?) then no, the legal entity will not exist for much longer.

      Okay, sue them.

      > A "faltering company" is not required to give notice of a layoff or plant closing when, before the plant closing, it is actively seeking capital or business, which if obtained would avoid or postpone the layoff or clo- sure, and if it reasonably believes that advance notice would hurt its ability to find the capital or business it needs to continue operating https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/Layoff/pdfs/WorkerWARN2003.pdf https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/Layoff/pdfs/Worke...
