Gap’s Remote Workers Lacked Notice of Mass Layoffs, Suit Alleges

Gap Inc. faces allegations that it failed to give some remote workers the required advance notice ahead of a mass-layoff round despite warning their local colleagues.

The clothing retailer laid off more than 1,800 workers in a plan announced in April, but it didn’t give all of them the 60-day notice required under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, according to the complaint filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday.

Gap didn’t immediately respond to a Wednesday request for comment.
