Sugar Law uses litigation and public policy advocacy to protect workers in plant closings and mass layoffs.

The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires employers to give their workers 60 days notice before a plant closing or mass layoff. Its purpose is to provide workers with time to seek alternative employment or retraining.

Direct representation of dislocated workers around the country by Sugar Law has led to the payment of millions of dollars to those whose employers attempted to avoid complying with the law.

Sugar Law is always seeking allies among progressive lawyers, activists, students and citizens.

We refer cases to private attorneys, provide education and opportunities for students, and share our resources as broadly as possible with all those seeking to make change for a more equitable society.
