Some employees who recently faced layoffs at Twitter have been fighting with the company to increase their severance packages. But recently Twitter came up with a ruling in which individuals were fighting for their will and asking to be paid. Twitter now settles claims in individual arbitration rather than a class-action lawsuit.
Many employees claimed surveillance pay after getting red notices to leave the company in October 2022. And the claims increased by the day Musk bought social media.
A federal judge in San Francisco ruled on Friday On claims of early November by the 5 workers, on 11th January. The court said in the ruling that the workers are under their contracts to undergo arbitration. Let me tell you which private judges solve disputes in closed-door hearings between 2-or more parties. James Donato the District Judge in the United States said in this ruling that he would later decide how to handle complaints from workers who choose to jump out of the arbitration agreement.
On the other side, the attorney who had claimed on behalf of workers said that Twitter will face a costly procedure. This attorney had filed claims of such 500 workers. He claimed that Twitter is shortchanging and trying to separate the employees.
Shannon Liss-Riordan the lawyer said in a statement “Insisting that workers file claims one by one has backfired for many companies our firm has taken on”. These companies think they can use arbitration as a means to force employees to walk away and not claim their rights. She added – She clearly said that sorry for the company’s intention.
