Jeff Jones’s priorities after getting laid off from Lane Furniture in Beldon, Mississippi, just two days before Thanksgiving are to find health insurance, a new job, and to sign on to a class-action lawsuit that could help him get severance pay from the company.
Jones was among thousands of employees whom United Furniture Industries (UFI) fired by text or email in Mississippi, North Carolina, and California, at midnight on Nov. 21, 2022.
