Here's how to check which California companies are planning mass layoffs, major closures

(NEXSTAR) – Between tons of tech layoffs and major retailers closing up shop, it's understandable if you're feeling a little uneasy in terms of job security. In many cases, a California labor law actually allows you to see which employers are planning mass layoffs or branch closures. It's thanks in part to a federal law called the WARN Act, which stands for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. Essentially, the law requires large employers to give 60 days of advanced notice when they are large numbers of cutting jobs. California has its own WARN Act that goes even further and requires even medium-sized businesses or nonprofits to comply. The state law applies to any organization that has employed at least 75 people, part-time or full-time, in the past 12 months. Layoffs but low unemployment: What is going on in this strange economy? Those employers are required to issue a notice when they are (1) laying off 50 or more employees in a 30-day period, (2) closing do...‘Ghost guns’, assault weapons among those purchased at San Mateo County gun buyback

BAGHDAD (AP) — An Iraqi court on Sunday issued a death sentence against the alleged killer of a prominent Iraqi security analyst known for his expertise on the Islamic State group, nearly three years after his assassination amid threats from militias.A criminal court convicted of a terrorism charge and sentenced to death police officer Ahmed Hamdawi al-Kinani for the killing of Hisham al-Hashimi, according to a statement from Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council. A video of al-Kinani appearing to confess to his purported involvement in the crime was released shortly after his arrest two years ago, but many say he had the backing of armed groups.A relative of al-Hashimi’s said the family supported the verdict, but said those who ordered the assassination should be brought to justice in addition to those who carried it out.“Until now, we have not learned who is backing the killer of Hisham al-Hashimi and who gave the orders to execute,” the relative said, speaking on condition of ano...DS Automobiles Italian Open Scores
