Lawsuit Filed Against Yellow Alleges WARN Act Violations

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Yellow Corp. for alleged violations of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

On Aug. 1, Armando Rivera filed a class-action lawsuit in a Delaware federal court against Yellow. The lawsuit claims that the company violated the WARN Act by not providing 60 days advance written notice of terminations.
