Curtis v. Lehigh Footwear, Inc.
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

1Opinion of the Court
WATHEN, Justice.
Plaintiffs, thirteen named employees of Loree Footwear Corporation, appeal from an order of the Superior Court (Cumberland County) granting judgment in favor of defendants Lehigh Footwear, Inc. and Le-high Valley Industries, Inc. Although plaintiffs obtained a judgment against their immediate employer for severance pay, they contend that the definition of “employer” found in 26 M.R.S.A. § 625-B (Supp.1985) includes the parent corporation of wholly owned subsidiaries. We find no error in the judgment of the Superior Court and deny the appeal.
