If you work at a large company or plant, your employer is required by federal law to give you ample notice of a mass layoff or plant closing so that you have time to find a new job. Some states, like New York, offer additional protections that go even further than the federal statutes. In this video, Dan Kovel discusses the difference between the New York and federal WARN Act statutes, and how these laws protect workers from sudden layoffs and plant closings.
