The Dade Medical College saga continues, as the shuttered school has been hit with a class action lawsuit by employees in response to the sudden closure. The 9 plaintiffs allege that they were not given the 60 day advance notice of mass termination as required by law.

The former employees want to recover 60 days wages from Dade Medical College and USMF. Both schools closed on Oct. 30, sending workers and students home with little guidance. The schools had campuses in Coral Gables, Miami, Miami Lakes, Homestead, Hollywood, West Palm Beach and Jacksonville.

Both schools are owned by Ernesto Perez who on November 3 was charged with felony campaign finance violations for bundling donations to politicians through employees.

He’s working on a plea deal with prosecutors.
