Does anybody know about this 60 day notice they give you when a plant closes works?

My plant is shutting down and some of it is moving to another plant. I was first told. I would be given a 60 day notice when they no longer needed me. They then offered me a lower paying job and was told if I didn't take it. I volunteered for lay off and I would be terminated at their earliest convience. I was able to get a date from them which was one week. For some reason, this sounds illigal. What are your thoughts on this?Does anybody know about this 60 day notice they give you when a plant closes works?
It sounds like you were given an opportunity to take another job, and you refused - therefore you quit...





If you feel you have legal recourse, don't ask poeople here - all you'll get are shaky opinions at best - do yourself a favor, and seek legal counsel.

Honestly the company can really lay you off whenever they feel like it as long as they let you know beforehand and you dont have a contract or are in a union or anything.
Why not just go into business yourself and then you never have to worry about lay offs. I have an opportunity that might be what you need!
