Parker School Uniforms, an 87-year-old Houston company that closed unexpectedly during the first week of 2018, has filed for bankruptcy, the Houston Chronicle reported. Employees still haven't received paychecks originally scheduled to be deposited on Jan. 4. According to an email the company sent employees, those "payroll obligations are now likely to be addressed by the bankruptcy court during the liquidation process." A lawsuit has been filed against the company in the District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division for violating Section 2101 of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act that requires employers to provide 60 days written notice to each affected employee prior to ordering a plant closing or mass layoff.
