Twitter employees fired by Elon Musk have sued the company. Approximately one hundred people filed lawsuits – the complaints are related to gender discrimination, non-compliance with the legal norms in dismissal and partiality in the choice of those who are dismissed.
About 100 former Twitter employees have filed lawsuits alleging multiple violations at the company, writes Reuters. It is clarified that all the violations described in the lawsuits were committed after Elon Musk bought Twitter and became its CEO.
The fired employees of Twitter accuse the company of not paying due benefits, violations of the law when firing, gender discrimination, as well as bias in the choice of whom to fire: the company deliberately reduced employees on sick leave and fired women more often than men. , says the newspaper. .
All claimants will be represented by counsel. Employment attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan is known for her work in class actions against Uber, Starbucks, FedEx.
Twitter laid off 3,700 employees in November to cut costs. The Washington Post wrote that Elon Musk intends to lay off 75% of the company’s staff, or 7,500 people.
