Possible Class Action Suit Over Terminated Employees From Trulieve

Employees laid off by multistate operator Trulieve Cannabis filed a possible class action lawsuit alleging the Florida-based company didn’t give appropriate notice before letting them go. According to The News Service of Florida, Trulieve laid off “an unspecified number of workers over the past few weeks” at its cultivation facilities in Midway, Monticello and Quincy. The suit – filed by attorney Tiffany Cruz on behalf of Ranjill O’Neil, who worked in Quincy, and other workers – alleges the employees weren’t given at least 60 days of notice before they were terminated, as required by federal law. Trulieve attorney Glenn Burhans Jr. said the company acted in compliance with state and federal laws and the layoffs came from “consolidating redundant positions.”
