Nope. Lawsuit filed.

Yeah, but you know people will be given a severance package if they sign those rights away.

That’s the quid pro quo here.

Federal WARN act penalty is 60 days severance (California's calculation is more complicated, but it still limits penalty period to 60 days, AFAIK).

So they won't care much - spin the wheel, see what a court decides, etc.

It won't get people their jobs back - reinstatement is not a penalty in either WARN act.

This is basically fake news and a performative suit.

The WARN act states that companies that dont provide notice have to pay 60 days severance. the penalty is reduced by any severance pay from the employer. Twitter is already paying 60 days of severance.

I know this is a heated topic with diverse opinions, but lets try to improve the quality of information and knowledge..

It depends. People are jumping to conclusions on this point before full information is available.

There are many carve-outs that will dismiss WARN liability: if severance packages are offered and accepted (with appropriate conditions), the WARN act is irrelevant.
