Did United Furniture break WARN act?

“Unforeseen business circumstances,” was the phrasing used by the Board of Directors for United Furniture Industries when the board announced the fate of some 2,700 workers spread out over several states. In emails and texts sent to workers around midnight on Monday, Nov. 21, the board told workers that they were no longer employed and that these actions were taken due to "unforeseen business circumstances."
