Issue

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is facing a class-action lawsuit for allegedly violating the WARN Act and unexpectedly laying off a large number of employees during the pandemic.

July 21, 2021

The Restaurant Law Center, US Chamber of Commerce, and National Retail Federation filed a motion for leave and a brief as amici curiae in support of appellants, arguing that the WARN Act provides an exception for natural disasters and the pandemic falls within that category.
