(Reuters) - Twitter Inc has secured a ruling allowing the social media company to force several laid-off workers suing over their termination to pursue their claims via individual arbitration than a class-action lawsuit.

U.S. District Judge James Donato on Friday ruled that five former Twitter employees pursuing a proposed class action accusing the company of failing to give adequate notice before laying them off after its acquisition by Elon Musk must pursue their claims in private arbitration.

Donato granted Twitter's request to force the five ex-employees to pursue their claims individually, citing agreements they signed with the company.

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. That sucks...

Arbitration rarely, if ever, turns out well for the workers.

2. Seems to me there should be some type of 'action' between

'class action' and 'private arbitration.' There has to be something between stronger together (with few together) and swept under the carpet. If multiple people have a co-interest in being prosecuted together. They can save money and have a joint persecution. I forgot what this is called.

Maybe 5 people does not qualify as a 'class action' but they should be able to sue together. IMO
