Twitter wants a federal court to throw out employees' collective allegations over layoffs

A group of employees have filed a class action suit against the social media platform, saying they were laid off due to Musk taking over.

On Friday, the court was asked to either transfer the allegations to Delaware or dismiss the class allegations in the case.

The employees who brought the lawsuit themselves have different circumstances, and they haven't properly stated what broad claims a large potential class ofTwitter employees would have.

According to an updated version of the employees' complaint filed earlier this month, one of the employees who filed the suit was already laid off.

Lawyers for the company argued that the employees' claims were vague and asked the court to dismiss their effort to bring claims for a large base of employees.

"Plaintiffs do not attempt to define a class, only passing reference to 'thousands of other Twitter employees' or 'other similarly situated Twitter employees,'" the company argued.

Shannon said that she and the employees she represents are confident in their claims.

"We will do everything we can to make sure that the rights of the employees are protected."

She called on Musk to honor the law and make good on his promises. We're ready to take him on if he doesn't.

Insider's request for comment on Sunday was not immediately responded to.

The lawsuit was filed by a group of employees who were laid off because of Musk's purchase of the company.

The employees were told to return to the office after Musk told them they couldn't work remotely for a year. Many of them are being offered just one month's pay, instead of two months or more, as they said before Musk's takeover.

The employees who brought the lawsuit have different issues and should be dealt with in a different way. One of them has already been pushed out and the other was laid off on the 1st of November.

The other employees, who are only officially being let go over the next two months, have been given 60 days notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

Some of the employees in this group are bound by arbitration and that is where their claims should play out, according to the argument made by the social media company.
