Hey Twitter employees getting laid off tomorrow! IMPORTANT INFO from a CA employment attorney (me):
CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff.
A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies.
I know you didn't get that notice.

Let’s talk about the legal problems Elon just created for himself with this cruel new staff email.
You’re fired if you don’t commit to long hours at high intensity within 24 hours?
Let’s start with disabled workers.

Predator Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. On behalf of the victims I represent, we would have preferred he lived to face justice.
Our civil cases can still proceed against his estate. Victims deserve to be made whole for the lifelong damage he caused. We’re just getting started.

Twitter will be liable for all of these (civil penalties, lost compensation, lost medical and other benefits) & attorneys' fees for the 60 days it failed to give workers notice.
This flagrant violation of workers rights is outrageous.
Who's in for a class action? LET'S DO THIS
220

This WARN law applies to all California employers of 75+ employees, which obviously includes Twitter with its thousands of employees.
Purpose of the law is to give laid off employees time to figure out how to handle this disruption.
And Elon completely ignores it.

We'll see how long Twitter lets my posts stay up. If they take them down tonight, before the layoffs, that means they were on notice of the law I cite and chose to punish me rather than follow it.
That's consciousness of guilt and I'd use it as the basis for punitive damages.
351
2,023
18,358
Employees laid off in violation of the WARN Act receive back pay at the employee's final rate or 3 year average of compensation, whichever is higher. Twitter would also be liable for workers' medical expenses that would have been covered under an employee benefit plan.

Employers like Twitter who violate the WARN Act face civil penalties of $500/day for each violation. With thousands of employees, this could be significant, though maybe not to Elon.

We interrupt the news about the Monterey Park mass shooting to cover the Half Moon Bay mass shooting.

Update: Twitter HR is now telling everyone who does not sign the ridiculous new pledge they have resigned. Employment law does not work that way. You cannot deprive people of unemployment benefits and wrongful termination cases by saying that they resigned. Nice try though!

Twitter employees, DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING when you're laid off.
Consult with an attorney first.
Buried in the fine print may be a waiver of your rights under CA and federal law.
Those rights are important and valuable!

Also, CA's strong antidiscrimination laws apply to Twitter's big layoff tomorrow. Are people of color, women and/or older workers disproportionately chosen, for example?
This was done so hastily, so slapdash, so that the world's richest man can get even richer faster.

You didn't get it.

Finally, let’s just talk about how cruel it is to force everyone to opt in to these ridiculous terms within 24 hours or be fired.
Workers depend on their jobs. Their livelihood is not a game to be toyed with by a billionaire bully.

Twitter workers, many of whom I represent, were FINALLY given their "severance agreements" on Saturday.
They are really settlement agreements which SILENCE WORKERS FOR LIFE and and require them to give up important legal rights.
Let's discuss. 1/

Third, Elon says those who opt out will get three month’s severance.
He promised that by tweet to the thousands of Twitter employees he fired weeks ago. Yet it has still not materialized.
My clients, fired Twitter workers, and I intend to enforce that promise.

Under federal and state laws, those with physical or mental disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodations by their employers. For many, this would include working reasonable hours.
@elonmusk are you planning a mass layoff of your remaining disabled workers?

Next, childcare still overwhelmingly disproportionately impacts female workers, for whom working long hours on a regular basis is often just a hard no.
So we have a gender discrimination issue too.

Most shocking to me is that Prince Andrew's attorney wanted the judge to say NY's law giving child sexual abuse victims more time to sue is unconstitutional.
