Alatrade Foods WARN Act Layoffs Settlement
Sep 16, 2026
Filing Deadline
If you were laid off from Alatrade Foods' Phenix City, Alabama plant in 2025, you may be entitled to compensation from a $500,000 class action settlement. The lawsuit alleged that Alatrade Foods violated the federal WARN Act, which requires employers to give workers at least 60 days advance notice before a mass layoff or plant closing. Workers who didn't receive proper notice may be owed back pay and benefits.
Alatrade Foods has agreed to settle these claims without admitting wrongdoing. The $500,000 settlement fund will be divided among eligible former employees on a pro rata basis — meaning the more workers who file valid claims, the smaller each individual share may be, so it's worth filing if you qualify.
The deadline to submit your claim is September 16, 2026, so don't wait too long. Class Action Buddy can walk you through the filing process quickly and easily.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You were employed at Alatrade Foods' Phenix City, Alabama plant
- You were laid off as part of the 2025 mass layoff or plant closure event
- You did not receive at least 60 days advance written notice of your termination as required by the federal WARN Act
- You are a former hourly or salaried employee who was part of the affected workforce (eligibility details may be further defined by the settlement administrator)
How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $500,000. After attorneys' fees, administrative costs, and any other deductions are subtracted, the remaining "net fund" will be divided among all eligible claimants on a pro rata basis. This means your individual payout depends on how many former employees file valid claims and how long you worked at the facility before the layoff.
Specific per-person payout amounts have not been publicly disclosed, but former employees who file valid and timely claims will receive their proportionate share of the net settlement. Filing your claim before the September 16, 2026 deadline is the only way to receive compensation.
