Arise Chicago, a workers' rights organization, said Friday that they have filed charges with the Illinois Department of Labor on the former Foxtrot employees' behalf.

Former workers of the now-defunct Foxtrot Market want the company held accountable, and are demanding 60 days of severance pay after they were laid off without warning when the grocery store chain abruptly closed all its stores this week.

The lawsuit claims Outfox Hospitality violated federal and state Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Acts when it abruptly closed all Foxtrot and Dom's Kitchen & Market stores on Tuesday and laid off workers without warning.Both laws require employers to provide at least 60 days' notice before mass layoffs. The lawsuit, which seeks class action status for all Dom's and Foxtrot employees, seeks 60 days of severance pay and benefits for laid off workers.
