Elon Musk sends fired Twitter employees to arbitration, then he just doesnt show up, new lawsuit claimsMusk fired about half of Twitters 7,500 workers in November, then layoffs continued into 2023, reportedly bringing headcount under 2,000.
Twitter Inc. is refusing to engage in arbitration with ex-employees who were fired when Elon Musk took over the company after pushing them to use that process to resolve claims that they werent paid, didnt get promised severance, or were discriminated against, according to a lawsuit.
The company now known as X Corp. has been accused in multiple suits of numerous labor and workplace violations, including its failure to pay thousands of workers laid off late last year after Musks acquisition. About 2,000 former Twitter employees have resorted to fighting their claims in arbitration as the company has demanded but Twitter hasnt shown up, according to a complaint filed Monday in San Francisco federal court.

Seems these kind of people avoid paying for anything, even when they agree ahead of time. They think most people won't sue for their rightful wages.
