Summary
Strauss Borrelli PLLC is investigating Fred Meyer after the company notified the Washington Employment Security Department on July 29, 2025, of a mass layoff at its Tacoma, Washington facility. The firm says the notice alleges Fred Meyer laid off 226 employees and may have violated the WARN Act by failing to provide at least 60 days' prior written notice. The investigation is assessing whether affected employees are entitled to 60 days of severance pay and benefits under the federal WARN Act. Fred Meyer is identified as a regional retail chain headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and a subsidiary of The Kroger Co.; the notice and possible violation are the focus rather than broader company restructuring details.
