Ex-Twitter Employees Plan to ‘Bombard’ Company With Legal Claims

Wired  

Just a month after Twitter’s new CEO, Elon Musk, oversaw massive staff layoffs, former Twitter employees have announced that they’re filing suit over the company’s severance policies. Rafael Nendel‑Flores, a California-based employment lawyer, says the legal strategy of filing multiple arbitration suits, which is likely a way to get around the constraints of a dispute resolution agreement, will pile pressure on Twitter. “That is, in my view, a significant pressure point—that Ms. Bloom and probably other plaintiffs’ lawyers are going to try and push these individual arbitration cases.” Like most Twitter employees, Lee and the others had signed away their right to be part of a class action suit when they took the job via a dispute resolution agreement that routes all legal complaints to arbitration. Last week, Akiva Cohen, a lawyer representing another group of Twitter employees, notified the company that his clients, too, would be filing arbitration suits if the company did not “unequivocally confirm” that former employees would be given the full severance they say Twitter promised them.
