A federal judge in Abingdon has ruled that Bristol Compressors violated the WARN Act and must pay former employees.Judge James Jones ruled that the company was not exempt from giving employees 60 days’ notice of termination as required under the WARN Act. As a result, the former employees “are entitled to payment for the workdays included in the 60 calendar days following their terminations without cause and without 60 days’ notice.”Bristol Compressors must pay out a total of nearly $1.4 million.
