Law360, Los Angeles (August 06, 2014, 4:35 PM ET) -- Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is facing a putative class action in California court accusing it of not properly notifying its former employees of a mass layoff of up to roughly 400 workers in the state, and not paying them wages earned before termination.
The proposed class action, filed Monday, alleged that SpaceX ordered the mass layoffs of between 200 and 400 workers on or about July 21 without giving advance notice to the them, in violation of California's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
The putative class comprises all nonexempt employees working at SpaceX facilities in California at any time within four years before the filing of the initial complaint through the date notice is mailed to a certified class who were subject to a mass layoff and didn't receive proper notice.
A second proposed class includes employees who weren't paid wages after their termination.
