Here are some notes of what happend, for the curious.
The corp, divested itself of one of it's many dealerships, nationwide.
They gave one and a half weeks notice, then dropped most of their employees.
Today, they kicked most of them to the curb, gave inadequate notice, and did not immediately pay most people, as required by Ca. law.
In Ca., if you have more than 50 employees at a location, you must give them 60 days notice, if you close shop. They did not.
In Ca., if you close shop, you must give every employee their paycheck. They did not.
Some of those employees had been working for 5 years+
wouldn't that increase the financials of the company? stock price is tied to financials, not how it treats it's employees.
I don't get it...they divested (i.e. sold) ONE dealership to someone and then that someone fired everyone. So how is Autonation liable?
They did not fire anyone. They sold two of the franchises they owned, in that particular automall, to another dealer, outside of AutoNation. Where their fault was, is in lack of proper notice to the employees, and failure to pay, upon elimination of the jobs.
BTW, my relatives with stock, are not AutoNation employees, and had owned their stock, prior to my affiliation. There was nothing insider going on. They were angered by the way the company handled the transaction.
Now, for an update:
I was contacted by HR this morning, and have been paid. My beef is over. I already have a new job.
I was ready to go to the mat with them, but it seems now, that it won't be necessary. Apparently, I rattled enough cages yesterday. This was a localized management issue, and is not the stance of the corporation.
So, let this die now.
