Musks X Corp wins spat with former employees over arbitration fees

September 2 – X Corp decided on Tuesday, a US Corpian Court, and cannot be forced to cover a number of legal disputes of former employees who lost their jobs after acquiring Elon Musk’s social media company. The New York -based 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeal, a panel, said that an arbitration company should decide whether X will pay fees, or that the company could divide the X’s cases with seven former workers claiming that they are trying to get their cases off the rail.

The court said that workers have lost their ability to solve any dispute about wages, workers preferred to pass through arbitration.

“It is difficult to see how twin arbitration, disagreements to be resolved efficiently and avoiding long and expensive lawsuits will be served with the intervention of such procedural disputes,” the Circuit Judge Gerard Lynch said.

Shannon Liss-Rordan, a lawyer for the former employees who opened the case, did not immediately respond to his requests for comments. Liss-Rordan said that X refused to pay arbitration in hundreds of cases. After the acquisition of 2022 Twitter, Musk fired approximately 6,000 employees and agreed to pay a lawsuit that was not explained by the former workers who filed a lawsuit for the termination of many employees and said that they owe a $ 500 million severance pay.

An agreement signed by most Twitter employees required the company to bring legal disputes to Jams, a special arbitration company rather than the court.

Jam rules say that employers who want to sign workers to sign arbitration agreements should cover the first wages of $ 1,500 roughly before a referee is appointed to a case. X refused to pay by claiming that it did not require arbitration, because the workers had the chance to give up when they hired.

On Tuesday, which reverses a manhattan federal judge that ruled the workers, the 2nd circuit, arbitration agreements, said that there is no authority to solve the problem because it allocates procedures for jams.
