[00:00:00]17,000 people who are now unemployed and don't have medical benefits and you know, they're scrambling.

[00:00:09]A group of former Spirit Airlines workers is suing the company for back pay and benefits. They say the company fired them illegally because it didn't give them proper layoff notices. The suit says Spirit misled employees telling them it planned to continue operations and to ignore media reports it was about to shut down. The airline abruptly stopped all operations earlier this month.
