Musk-owned companies have now faced 3 WARN Act lawsuits alleging the same thing
, and the Tesla suit in Nevada was dismissed on the grounds that the plaintiffs had agreed to enter into arbitration, forcing the issue out of court.
In the Twitter case, the plaintiffs are asking that the blue bird and its owner be forced to conform to the federal and California WARN Acts, which both specify a mandatory 60-day notification period ahead of mass layoffs. The plaintiffs are also asking for compensatory damages, including expenses and wages owed.
That's not a big ask from the WARN Act, and conforms to the Department of Labor's penalties for violating it, which hold that a guilty company"is liable to each aggrieved employee for an amount including back pay and benefits for the period of violation, up to 60 days." That's a lot of cash owed to a lot of employees if Musk fails to wriggle out of this one – just add it to the
he and his financiers took on with the purchase, which is sure to be great for the future of the internet's privately owned town square. ®
