U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-3002
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Beam and Loken, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
District court did not err in finding the "unforeseeable business
circumstances" exception applied as the undisputed evidence
demonstrated that the company's abbreviated WARN Act notice was
caused by an unanticipated and dramatic major economic downturn, the
impact of which was not apparent until just before the notice was given;
employer gave as much notice as was practicable and the content of the
notice was sufficient.
