SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 15 — Twitter Inc has secured a ruling allowing the social media company to force several laid-off workers suing over their termination to pursue their claims via individual arbitration than a class-action lawsuit.
Donato granted Twitter's request to force the five ex-employees to pursue their claims individually, citing agreements they signed with the company.The San Francisco judge left for another day"as warranted by developments in the case" whether the entire class action lawsuit must be dismissed, though, as he noted three other former Twitter employees who alleged they had opted out of the company's arbitration agreement have joined the lawsuit after it was first filed.
Those workers all claim they have not received the full severance package promised by Twitter before Musk took over. Some have also alleged sex or disability discrimination. The judge said that before asking workers to sign severance agreements waiving their ability to sue the company, Twitter must give them"a succinct and plainly worded notice".
