“The richest man in the world is not above the law,” said labor attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, whose team represents clients in four different class-action lawsuits against Twitter.
Powerhouse labor attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan and former Twitter employees stood in front of San Francisco’s federal courthouse on Thursday with a message for Elon Musk: They won’t back down.
The latest case was filed late Wednesday alleging the company disproportionately targeted women in its layoffs. The complaint cited a report that 57% of female employees and 47% of male employees were laid off Nov. 4, which was found to be statistically significant.Liss-Riordan also represents Dmitry Borodaenko, the lead plaintiff in a case against the company alleging discrimination against employees with disabilities.
The emergency motion would prevent Twitter from seeking those releases without first notifying employees of the pending class-action lawsuit and contact information for legal counsel. A similar motion was filed in a case against TeslaThe second decision, which is set for a hearing in January, centers around arbitration agreements most Twitter employees signed as a term of employment.
“We’ll show you one by one and then we’ll file hundreds or even thousands of individual cases,” she said.and successfully enforced them, she said.. Former employee Helen Sage-Lee filed a claim with the help of her attorney, Lisa Bloom, on the basis that the terms of Musk’s deal to purchase Twitter require him to provide a severance package and benefits “no less favorable” than the one promised by its prior leadership for at least a year.
An engineering manager who was a part of the Nov. 4 layoff said some are concerned they are still bound by employee guidelines because they are still in the non-working period and tethered to Twitter while not actually working for the company.
