Summary
Strauss Borrelli PLLC is investigating Essendant Co after the company notified the Texas Workforce Commission on August 3, 2026 that it would conduct a mass layoff at its Irving, Texas facility. The firm alleges Essendant may have laid off 136 employees without providing the 60 days' WARN Act notice, and is exploring whether affected workers are entitled to back pay and benefits. The notice triggered a potential WARN Act violation inquiry because employers with 100+ employees must give 60 days' prior written notice of mass layoffs. The law firm is soliciting contacts from impacted Essendant employees in Irving regarding possible legal remedies.
