all of you should be filing for unemployment, it'll be a costly experience for him when everyone fights his objections and wins.
This. Unemployment insurance can get expensive for employers who regularly lay off employees.
However, is your employer also claiming everyone is a contractor? This is also common because doing so will mean they can avoid social security taxes and unemployment insurance. And it's wrong 90% of the time.
Also, he doesn't have to pay a Christmas bonus, or any bonus for that matter. Seems like a silly reason to fire a bunch of people.
