Paramount Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over September Layoffs

The lawsuit alleges Paramount violated New York's WARN Act by not providing the required 90-day notice for mass layoffs.

Julian Hagins, a former employee, filed the lawsuit claiming over 300 staffers were laid off without the mandated notice.
The lawsuit seeks class-action status, aiming to represent all similarly affected employees.
Paramount disputes the allegations, stating that employees entitled to WARN notice received it.
The layoffs are part of a broader cost-cutting initiative to reduce Paramount's U.S. workforce by 15%.
The legal action could potentially impact Paramount's upcoming merger with Skydance Media.
