WASHINGTON — Home goods retailer Bed Bath & Beyond is facing scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers for allegedly evading severance pay for thousands of employees laid off after its recent bankruptcy.
The lawmakers claim Bed Bath & Beyond denied some workers severance pay after it filed for bankruptcy in April and began closing stores and laying off workers.
Bed Bath & Beyond did not immediately return request for comment on the lawmakers' letter.
Warren, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, and Booker asked Bed Bath & Beyond to commit to providing severance to its workers and for detailed information on its severance policy, stock buybacks and dividends and other related issues.
