QUESTION
Is what my employer did legal?

More details to this question:
My job has cut down a whole departments hours from 40 hrs a week to 25 a week to avoid insurance premiums. We were given no advance notice to prepare for this lost of wages. We were literally told at around 2 o'clock on a wed. that starting the next day we were all part time employees. Also in this meeting they said that they would not fight our unemployment if we resigned but simply resigning would make us ineligible for unemployment anyway so there would be nothing to fight. This change affected close to 100 employees. And now they have started a major hiring spree to find part time employees to cover the hours they took from us. Do we have a case against them?

You should gather a few of your fellow employees to pool your resources for a legal defense fund. You could then have the proper legal research done on both issues and obtain a written legal opinion as to your legal rights and your ability to succeed. The initial cost would be $2500.
