Munchery, Inc.

UPDATE 01/08/2021

On January 25, 2019, we filed a class action suit against Munchery, Inc., (“Munchery”) seeking to recover 60 days wages and benefits for former employees under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act and the California Labor Code § 1400 et. seq. (collectively, the “WARN Acts”). We contend Munchery ordered mass layoffs on or about January 21, 2019, without providing its employees with 60 days advance written notice as required by the WARN Acts. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

On February 28, 2019, Munchery filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. On March 5, 2019, we filed the WARN suit in the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. On May 29, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court sent the case back to District Court, where it is currently pending.

On February 4, 2020, the parties reached a proposed settlement of the class action which is subject to the District Court’s final approval. A copy of the binding term sheet may be accessed here.

On October 19, 2020, the Court granted preliminarily approval of the settlement and set a fairness hearing for January 21, 2021 to decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement. A copy of the joint motion requesting preliminary approval of the settlement may be found here.  A copy of the Order granting preliminary approval of the settlement may be found here.

On November 10, 2020, the Class Notice containing information about the terms of the settlement was mailed to each Class Member. A copy of it can be found here.

On December 4, 2020, Class Counsel filed a motion for approval of attorney’s fees and costs and the Class Representatives’ service awards. A copy of it can be found here.

On January 7, 2021, Class Counsel filed a motion for final approval of the settlement. A copy of it can be found here.

The fairness hearing to consider final approval of the settlement and Class Counsel’s request for approval of attorney’s fees and costs and the Class Representatives’ service awards will be held February 4, 2021 at 9 a.m. PST.
