If they follow THE LAW (I know, I know) thousands of pink slips will show up JUST before the election.

The government said it would cover legal costs if contractors are forced to slash their payrolls because of the looming $109 billion in automatic cuts next year and are alleged to have violated the WARN Act.

I hope they have that in writing, not on a teleprompter.

Too late. Already laid off. :-s

I’ll do fine, but this is my second lay-off in four years. None in my previous 20 years of employment. I’m trying to figure out why...

the week after the election is going to tumultuous on a scale that will make us think of october of 2008 as “the good old days”.

obama is kicking every decision that is even slightly controversial past the election. these things will stack up, and they will have dire consequences.

The government said it would cover legal costs

So, the government has its own money?

And if they try to raise our taxes to pay for this, we can treat it as armed robbery, and shoot the enforcers down like dogs?

20 CFR 639.1(e): Notice in ambiguous situations. It is civically desirable and it would appear to be good business practice for an employer to provide advance notice to its workers or unions, local government and the State when terminating a significant number of employees. In practical terms, there are some questions and ambiguities of interpretation inherent in the application of WARN to business practices in the market economy that cannot be addressed in these regulations. It is therefore prudent for employers to weigh the desirability of advance notice against the possibility of expensive and time-consuming litigation to resolve disputes where notice has not been given. The Department encourages employers to give notice in all circumstances.
