WARN Act Should Be Amended. Executives at Companies Who Violate It Should Face 60 Months Imprisonment.
Wooden heart: Furniture manufacturer fires its 2,700 workers by text and emails while they were ASLEEP two days before Thanksgiving, warns them not to come into work the next day - and has one driver arrested for taking furniture off truck
A Mississippi-based furniture company laid off nearly their entire staff of nearly 3,000 two days before Thanksgiving
United Furniture Industries told employees via text overnight on Monday that they were not to come in for work the following morning
Workers were hit with a further blow on Tuesday when another message told them that their health insurance would not be protected by COBRA

Congress should amend the law and put some real teeth into it! Obviously, facing a fine of $500 per day for each violation isn't a strong enough deterrent for these assholes. Perhaps orange jump suits will be.
