Two former Twitter employees have filed a class-action lawsuit against the company, accusing it of gender discrimination.
The lawsuit - filed in San Francisco Federal Court - alleges that Musk's new policies had a "disproportionate impact" on women. According to data analyzed in the lawsuit, Twitter laid off 57% of the its female employees and only 47% of its male employees. Within that, 63% of women in engineering roles were laid off compared to only 48% of men in similar roles, according to the lawsuit's data analysis.
This is one among several lawsuits former employees have filed against Twitter since Elon Musk took ownership on October 27, and eliminated more than half the company's workforce.
Other class-action suits address Twitter's violations of the California WARN Act, which requires employers to provide significant advance notice to employees before conducting mass layoffs. Former employees argue that Twitter provided them with less than the required 60-day notice and docked months of severance pay.
Another suit argues that Twitter discriminated against disabled workers by requiring them to come into the office without providing reasonable accommodation - a mandate by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.
Shannon Liss-Riordan, a labor attorney representing some of Twitter's employees, held a press conference in San Francisco on Thursday ahead of the court hearing for a class-action suit filed by five former employees who alleged that Twitter did not provide adequate notice before its mass layoffs.
The hearing specifically focused on an emergency motion requiring Twitter to inform all employees of their rights before distributing severance agreements. Liss-Riordan noted that she had also filed a similar suit against Tesla over its layoffs in June 2022.
Four plaintiffs from the lawsuits being represented by Liss-Riordan also spoke at the conference.

I certainly hope that Twitter layed off everyone named Karen.
Tell them he had no idea they identified as women, and he wouldn’t dare assume someone’s gender when firing them.
Should be easy to fix: just fire more guys. But I guess they have to take a poll to see who identifies as guys?
Maybe he’s getting rid of the problem. Leftist women are screwing up everything these days.
Yep.
In this economically stressed time engineered by the Biden Regime, people are looking for any opportunity for easy money. I can imagine lawsuits against the gambling casinos when it is found that women lose more at the slots then men.
well, I am assuming there were more useless women there or more Insubordinate ones.
What a joke. Besides ... what IS a woman? The newest SCOTUS member doesn’t even know. Sheesh.

Republicans were baffled after Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, said she was unable to define what a woman is.
Jackson told Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., that she was unable to answer the question because she is “not a biologist.”

Good one LL
He better flee California. California has a mountain of employment laws, regulations, fines, etc. Get to Texas as soon as he can. Then give California the Bird.
He then fired those who worked the least amount of time, or were least productive.
Sexual identity was not a factor in any employment decisions.
When does the FBI sue for firing too many of them?
Invalid numbers. There is no legal definition of woman. Anyone who declares self to be a woman is accepted as a woman. So the distinction man/woman is legally invalid.
How would he know?
Lol… he fired almost everyone…. Seemed like he took out the garbage, wont make a difference , doesnt matter the genetic make up of the garbage.
People are collectively getting much more stupid.
Its very sad. And depressing.
It’s an interesting case study.
Musk has made “Chainsaw Al” Dunlap look like Mother Teresa in the HR dept.
OTOH a lot of woke corporations have stopped advertising.
So a race between cost cutting and revenue loss.
Uh, did they request reasonable accommodation?
Wait a minute. How’s this work? One of the recently appointed US Supreme Court justices cannot define what a woman is.
