Legal Question in Employment Law in California

After bankruptcy and or merger am I employeed or not

On May 24th the company I work for filed chapter 11, we were told it was up to us weather we should keep working, but three days of no show is job abandonment.The pay check we got on the 25th was not valid.Wednesday 30th they told 200+ employees in our branch they were layed off.The rest of us were told one of our competitors would hire some employees.I was one who got an e-mail to that effect.On the 1st they came into our office and said we would get paid on 6/8th for all money owed. On 6/4 an e-mail was sent to a dozen employees outlining pay and benifits.I did not get one of those, now management is telling me they do not know if I have a job or not or if I should keep going to work or even if I will get paid for the time I have worked. I need to know my legal rights and responsibilities.
