Elon Musk Sued by Twitter over mass Layoff. Email screenshot goes viral!!

As employees were abruptly locked out of their workplace Slack and email accounts and prohibited from walking into the office ahead of the mass layoffs on Friday, a class-action complaint was launched against Twitter over Elon Musk's plan to fire thousands of employees. After informing employees that 3,700 positions, or half of its workforce, would be eliminated, the corporation filed the case on Thursday in federal court in San Francisco, according to Bloomberg News. It asserts that inadequate notice of the mass layoffs was given to the workforce, in violation of federal and Californian law. The WARN Act, also known as the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, requires corporations with 100 or more employees to provide 60 days' notice of mass layoffs or other work interruptions. The lawsuit asks a judge to issue an order mandating social media platforms to abide by this law. According to the news source, the lawsuit also asks the court to prohibit Twitter from asking employees to sign paperwork that could waive their ability to participate in legal proceedings. “We filed this lawsuit tonight in an attempt the make sure that employees are aware that they should not sign away their rights and that they have an avenue for pursuing their rights,” Shannon Liss-Riordan, the attorney who filed the lawsuit.
