COURTHOUSE,
\n Aug 17 \u2013\u00a0 A Bronx-based
\n school bus company laid off
\n 187 workers on June 26, 2025,
\n allegedly in violation of the
\n Federal and state WARN acts.
\n Some workers sued, and seek
\n class action status. <\/p>\n

\u00a0 On August
\n 17 U.S. District Court for the
\n Southern District of New York
\n Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave
\n held a conference. Inner City
\n Press covered it. <\/p>\n

\u00a0 Defendant
\n GVC LTD of 1932 Commerce
\n Avenue, The Bronx asked that
\n discovery be split in two and
\n that it not have to provide
\n documents about the 187
\n workers until certain
\n threshold issues, such as the
\n applicability of the WARN Acts
\n and the certification of any
\n class, are
\n resolved.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The plaintiffs’
\n lawyer said all discovery
\n should go forward.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Judge Cave
\n came down in the middle, as
\n she put it, saying that
\n information about two
\n plaintiffs should be provided,
\n including if they accepted
\n employment with another bus
\n company called Pride (the
\n question of whether or not it
\n is affiliated with GVC LTD was
\n raise).<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 The
\n next session is set for
\n October 20 at 11 am, with a
\n joint letter due on October
\n 15.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u00a0The case is
\n Roman v. GVC LTD, 1:26-cv-3432
\n (Rearden \/ Cave)<\/p>\n
