Is this legal?

If this has happened repeatedly, as you say, and they’ve gotten rid of ALL of the full-time non-managerial staff except your dad, I think someone needs to call your State Attorney General’s office. It’s perfectly reasonable to fire the occasional employee for cause. But the entire staff? Every single person that worked for them, some for decades or more, are suddenly incompetent or breaking company rules?

I smell a rat here, and based on the pattern I wouldn’t be surprised if a state agency agreed.

Every time a company lays people off, their costs for unemployment go up. I think your dad’s bosses are trying to avoid that, and I think it’s illegal. Call the state attorney general’s office.
