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.

Well, is it fair to ask gender anymore or sex? I’m surprised they didn’t list out all 57 or whatever varieties that some of the people think are around.
Who the hell cares?
I’m pretty certain that is being discussed.
Imho those woke companies need Twitter as much as Musk needs them. Theyll return.
Like I said, it’s fun to watch.
Like all those celebs who say they’ll move to Canada or Europe when a Republican gets elected, but never do.
Funny how they NOW want to work.
laugh out loud HARD.
What is a woman?
Most of the Moloch-worshipping former Twitter censors have vaginas.
I am going to take a guess and assert that the majority of useless, grifting, woke employees fired at Twitter were female.
Simply because broken down by sex, more of the useless, grifting, woke employees at Twitter were likely females.
That was pretty much the point of my post just above. In their case, it is likely as simple as workplace demographics at Twitter.
I certainly hope that Twitter layed off everyone named Karen.More to it than that, Paladin2 -- the suit should be that Twitter hired women for unessential positions.
Manager: Susie, I’m afraid I’ve got bad news. I’m going to have to either lay You or Jack off.
Susie: Well, Jack off, then, I’ve got a headache!
Nice one!
