A former employee alleged the company had failed to provide notice 60 days in advance of mass layoffs as required by federal law.
A Zachry Holdings Inc. subsidiary has agreed to pay $7 million to settle a potential class-action lawsuit from a former employee who alleged the company failed to follow federal law when it laid off thousands of workers as it exited the Golden Pass LNG project south of Port Arthur . A Thursday court filing in Zachry’s Houston bankruptcy case shows that nearly 3,500 former Zachry Industrial employees will share almost $4.7 million after about $2.3 million in attorneys’ fees are paid.
Zachry Holdings subsidiary facing potential class-action lawsuit over Golden Pass job cuts Avis Lamotte, a Port Arthur resident who was among the workers terminated in May, sued the company for failing to provide notice 60 days in advance of mass layoffs as required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. Lamotte will receive $2,000 for serving as the named plaintiff, subject to the judge’s approval. A spokesman for Zachry said Friday it had no comment on the settlement.
