Legal Question in Employment Law in California

New Job

In December 2004 I interviewed with a company for a new job. I accepted the postion and gave my employer of over 9 years three weeks notice. I was to start work on January 31, 2005. I started on that Monday and everything went fine. On Tuesday Febuary 1, 2005 I was called into the office and told the firm would be closing the division and moving out of state. I was also told they had know about this for three weeks. I had to walk out and pray that my previous employer will hire me back. I am almost sure they will. I did leave on very good terms. Having known that this plant was closing is it legal for them to do this to me. I did receive a valid written job offer from them. Of course it doesn't state anything about the move. Do I have any legal recourse.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

If you don't get your old job back, and thus lose money, you will have grounds to bring a claim against the new company. If that happens, contact me to discuss your rights and remedies.
