Former employees of Pirch, the high-end kitchen furnishing store that filed for bankruptcy last month, have filed a class-action lawsuit against the retailer. In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday, former Pirch worker Liza Rogers and others in the class allege that Pirch failed to follow state and federal laws when it laid them off abruptly several weeks ago. Specifically, employees say Pirch failed to follow the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act. On April 19, Pirch filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Customers have also asked for criminal inquiries into the company, and Rogers filed a complaint with the state regarding the alleged WARN Act violation.
