IN THE NEWS: Pullman & Comley Attorney Interviewed on Anticipated Increase in Lawsuits as U.S. Jobless Rate Rises

Pullman & Comley attorney Daniel A. Schwartz was quoted extensively in "Tough Times Spur Laid-Off Workers to Sue," an article by Martha Graybow which appeared on 11/11/2008 on the Reuters website. The article discusses, among other issues, that the expected complaints will be arguments from dismissed workers that they are owed wages and benefits, or complaints they did not get adequate warning their jobs were about to disappear.

In the article, Schwartz says that "People, when they don't have a lot of options, tend to look to the courts for a remedy."

He goes on to discuss how many companies have worked to better shield themselves from discrimination claims by conducting workforce analyses ahead of layoffs to ensure no particular minority group is disproportionately affected by job terminations.
