Guzman y Gomez faces class action from US workers over closed stores

Mexican-themed Australian fast food chain accused of terminating staff without adequate pay or notice as it pulls out of the US

American workers at Guzman y Gomez’s shuttered US stores have launched a class action lawsuit against the Mexican-themed Australian fast food chain over allegations staff were terminated without adequate pay or notice.

The legal claim, filed in a US federal trial court in Illinois, was sparked by GyG’s decision last week to immediately close its string of Chicago stores after giving up on its highly vaunted plans to expand in the US.
